Gordon Hayward: Expected to play Saturday

Hayward (foot) is expected to play Saturday against the Bulls, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Hayward has been sidelined for the past two games due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, but it appears he will be available for Saturday's matchup against Chicago. Given the nature of his injury, it's difficult to project how close to full strength Hayward will be if he is ultimately able to go Saturday. If Hayward plays but is limited, expect Joe Ingles to pick up some extra minutes off the bench.
