Dead End Sports

The National Basketball Association had a busy offseason and opening night was no different. Prior to the Boston Celtics/Cleveland Cavaliers tipoff, Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotec got into a fight resulting in an eight game suspension for Portis and 4–6 week absence for Mirotec. Not to be outdone, six minutes into the Celtics/Cavs game, Gordon Hayward suffered a dislocated ankle and tibia fracture after a mid-air bump with Lebron James.
