Thirteen months ago, Gordon Hayward suffered a serious leg injury that permanently changed his career. Monday night, it appeared that Caris LeVert had suffered the same fate.

"Best wishes and prayers to @CarisLeVert for a speedy recovery.The return journey is difficult, but you will be stronger at the end.Contact us if you need anything!" Hayward tweeted.

LeVert was diagnosed with a subtalar dislocation of the right foot, which will not require surgery. The nets m said they expect him to come back at a time of this regular season.

"Fortunately, tests conducted this morning revealed that there were no fractures and only moderate ligamentous lesions," said Dr. Martin O. Malley. "Although the optics of this injury appear to have been more severe, no surgery will be necessary." Caris will begin a period of re-education with the Nets' performance staff, after which he should resume his strength and resume all his basketball activities, without any limitation this season. "

Hayward suffered a fracture tibia and dislocated ankle at the opening of the Celtics season a year ago and missed the rest of the regular season. He struggled to get back into training and looks a lot different than the star player he was when he signed in Boston.

"I know first-hand what it looks like … he wants to reach out, he knows how to take care of me," Hayward m said.
