Sports Scene bounces along to the basketball court, and the season opener in the NBA. The first game of the new campaign, would see the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Boston Celtics. The squads met in the Eastern Conference finals last year, and were also involved in the biggest trade of the off-season, as longtime Cav, Kyrie Irving asked to be shipped out of town, and would make his return to the city he helped lead to the title two years ago. But his first game back in the Land, would be overshadowed, but Boston's other key acquisition, Gordon Hayward, as the Celtics new forward would not make it out of the opening quarter before getting hurt.

 

Here is the play, Hayward going up for an alley-oop, when he lands awkwardly and is in serious pain. He would stay down for several minutes as doctors looked at him, and tried to mobilize the joint.

 

The Celtics would remain huddled, while other players could hardly look in his direction because of the severity of the injury.

 

He would eventually be stretchered off, but this is not how he envisioned his Celtics career would start -- he signed a 4-year- 128-million dollar deal, and is now most likely done for the season.
