Hayward landed on his leg, causing it to snap sideways.<\/p>\n<p>\"My thoughts and prayers go out to Gordon's family. Hope for a speedy recovery, a healthy recovery,\" James said after the game. \"Those are the injuries that you never see coming, you never want to happen, no matter who it is, no matter what the stature, no matter how much competitive nature that you have.
