Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan had some bold words for FS1 anchor Skip Bayless after he used Gordon Hayward's injury to throw a shot at LeBron James.
The entire NBA came together Tuesday night when Hayward suffered a gruesome ankle injury just a little over five minutes into the opening season game between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers. Players from teams around the league all took to social media to send out prayers and support for Hayward after he was carted off the court in agony.
While most people were trying to remain positive, Bayless took to Twitter and said the absence of Hayward would make James' path to the NBA Finals easier, but he would ultimately lose again. DeRozan fired back at Bayless, calling him a clown for sending out a tweet like that after a player suffered a potentially career-ending injury. San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay also went on Twitter, calling Bayless a "heartless clown" and telling him to go paint his face.
Bayless has amassed a major following and has been able to draw attention to himself by constantly criticizing LeBron. He used this method for years while starring on ESPN's "First Take," and was able to parlay it into a major money offer from FS1 to create "Undisputed."
