Jazz's Gordon Hayward still dealing with frequent pain in his left ring finger,

Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward has missed the first six games of the season with a finger injury. Hayward avoided the surgery and returned to the lineup after missing a few weeks. But Hayward is still dealing with a pain in his left ring finger.

Per ESPN, "It's one of those things where it hurts for a couple of minutes, throbs pretty good, but then it calms down and goes away," Hayward said. "It's something I've got to deal with. ... I think it's slowly getting better, but it's one of those things that when you keep hitting it, it's going to make it take longer. I want to be out there, though, so it's something I've got to play through.”.
