Is Gordon Hayward simply unlucky

Is Gordon Hayward simply unlucky - or is he fragile?

There are two major questions related to Gordon Hayward's latest injury, diagnosed as an avulsion fracture of the fifth metacarpal in his right hand. Why is he listed day-to-day by the Charlotte Hornets? And is Gordon simply unlucky, or is he truly fragile?

The Hornets will be very careful bringing Hayward back from his finger injury.

They want to make sure that their $30 million dollar man is healthy for the playoffs.

As a member of the Boston Celtics, Gordon suffered a Grade 3 ankle sprain and was projected to be back in action in four weeks, even though all information I researched gave 8-10 weeks as the proper recovery time. He WAS back on the court in roughly four weeks and appeared to be far-less than 100%.

Here we go again. Hayward's recent hand injury appears to require 6-8 weeks recovery time. So why is he listed as day-to-day? Some analysts believe Gordon was rushed back into action in Boston far too soon, and that appears to be the case. We'll wait to see Charlotte's approach.

I've never seen a guy who gets injured so often.

So, Is Hayward simply unlucky, or is his physique on the fragile side? It may be both. Injuries happen in the NBA, but Gordon is the victim in too many of them. I believe now that his frame and structure are too fragile, and a focused strength program should be on his agenda. His bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments just can't seem to hold up under the grind of an NBA season .If this cycle keeps repeating, he could be out of the league in a year or two.

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik
