Interesting comments to me from Ex-NBA player/Celtics forward Shavlik Randolph, who had similar injury to Gordon Hayward. “It’s about a 4-6 month recovery. The ligaments take 6-8 weeks and the tibia was about three months to heal in all the places it broke. Ironically, I had the same injury and as bad as it looks it does heal back to 100 percent and does so surprisingly fast. I think there’s a chance he could be back this season if he really pushed it.

Liaoning Flying Leopards brought back to China power-forward/center Shavlik Randolph. He will replace Deon Thompson.
If that all of this comes to pass, in real dollars the Nuggets would save approximately $1.2 million because the majority of Randolph’s salary is being taken care of by Phoenix and Boston, two teams he played for this season. As for the remaining money under the salary-cap floor, the NBA does not penalize a team. But any difference must be divided up and dispersed among the players on the roster. Right now, that’s looking to be payments in the $40,000 range for each Nugget.
