GORDON HAYWARD NEWS

Scores five points in win Hayward provided five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists in 18 minutes during Sunday's 124-93 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Hayward has played a very minor role since joining the Thunder, but if Jalen Williams misses time with an ankle injury, the veteran forward could find himself with a handful of additional minutes along with Cason Wallace and Kenrich Williams. Through 10 appearances with the Thunder, Hayward has averaged 3.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 15.6 minutes.

Logs 14 minutes in OKC debut Hayward totaled zero points (0-2 FG) and four rebounds over 14 minutes during Thursday's 129-107 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Prior to Thursday, Hayward hadn't played since Dec. 26 due to a calf injury, so it's no surprise that he received limited run in his first game with the Thunder. Though he did well on the boards, the veteran looked rusty on offense, going scoreless during his time on the court. Hayward's playing time should increase as he gets his legs back under him and becomes more familiar with OKC's system, but he may not reach the 30-minutes-per-game mark that he was posting with Charlotte before being traded unless he's able to work his way into the Thunder's starting unit.

Says he'll be available Thursday Hayward (calf) said Wednesday that he'll be available for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hayward hasn't played since Dec. 26 due to a calf injury, but he's cleared to make his Thunder debut Thursday. Given the lengthy absence, the veteran will presumably be eased into the rotation, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Hayward steal minutes away from Luguentz Dort and/or Josh Giddey if he plays well in Oklahoma City's system.
