It feels like devastating injuries have been one of the bigger stories across the sports world over the past couple of months.
On Thursday, for instance, Deshaun Watson tore his ACL during practice and the sports world was extremely sad after seeing the news.
Another injury that really hit the sports world hard was Gordon Hayward's horrible leg injury on the opening night of the season.
People from across the sports world have reached out to Hayward to support him, and Matt Lauer of the Today Show got the chance to sit down with the Celtics star for an exclusive interview.
Hayward talked about the injury and he got very emotional when he remembered seeing his mom in the stands crying after the injury occurred.
It's emotional just to watch and listen to Hayward remember that moment.
An injury like that is devastating on so many fronts, but Hayward has an incredible support system and he talked about his wife and children during the interview, which you can watch in its entirety below:
We wish Gordon a speedy recovery and we can't wait to see him back on the court next season with the Celtics.
