Gordon Hayward: Ruled out for Thursday

Hayward (foot) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's game against the Suns.

Analysis:

The Jazz will have to make do without their best offensive presence yet again Thursday as Hayward will miss his second consecutive contest. Hayward is battling plantar fasciitis and has not been practicing, so he still seems as though he could be at least another day or two away from getting back on the floor. Joe Ingles started in Hayward's place Monday and played 37 minutes, but he only managed six points.
