Hayward: Tatum gets more opportunities due to my injury. This is the turning point

Recently, former NBA player Hayward accepted an interview with the media, in which he talked about Tatum's rise.
Hayward said: "I feel, like I said, I was just selected as the All-Star at that time, and I felt at the peak of my career. And Tatum and I played in the same position."
"Coach Brad Stevens might have designed tactics for me at that time, rather than giving Tatum & Brown or someone else. I got injured, and Tatum got more opportunities, and sometimes, that's the turning point of everything."
On the opening day of the 2017-18 NBA season, Hayward suffered a severe left ankle dislocation and a tibia fracture in his debut with less than 6 minutes of the game, and was reimbursed for the season. Tatum then gained a lot of playing time. In the 17-18 season, Tatum averaged 13.9 points and 5 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 47.5% and three-point shooting percentage of 43.4%.
