Gordon Hayward is gearing up for what promises to be a consequential 2022-23 NBA season with the Charlotte Hornets.
When the team signed him to a four-year, $120 million contract, the hope was that he would prove to be a reliable star alongside then-rookie LaMelo Ball. Unfortunately, he simply hasn’t been able to stay consistently healthy.
The goal is for Gordon to change that this year. He looked great at Hornets media day and everyone seemed to be saying all the right things about him.
Interestingly enough, the 32-year-old isn’t the only member of his family trending this week. His wife, Robyn, blew up online recently for her provocative bath tub video:
This isn’t the first time in recent months Robyn has set the internet ablaze. Between her memorable beach day photos and general boldness on social media she is something of a mainstay in the headlines.
Plus, there is also just her general Instagram content. It always does massive engagement numbers across the board:

All in all, it’s easy to see why Robyn is such a popular figure in NBA circles.
This is going to be a big year for the entire Hayward clan. By all accounts, Gordon has been hitting the weight room hard this summer – and it shows. Whether that will lead to better overall health remains to be seen.
His arms certainly look thicker, though:
Gordon played in just 49 games last year. He averaged 15.9 points per game and shot just 45.9 percent from the field – his lowest since 2015.
There is a reason the Hornets tried to trade him away this summer, only to get rejected.

That said – this could be a strong bounce back year for Gordon. If he can help lead Charlotte into the postseason and serve as a reliable option behind Ball, a lot of his past issues will be forgotten.
What does Gordon’s future hold in 2022-23 and beyond? Time will tell.
