Watch: LeBron checks on injured Hayward before he's stretchered off

The focus of the highly anticipated matchup between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night quickly shifted from the Kyrie Irving-LeBron James dynamic to the well-being of Gordon Hayward.

As Hayward was stretchered off following a gruesome leg injury in the first quarter, James made his way over to the fallen Celtics forward to make sure he was all right, shaking his hand and wishing him well.
