There will be no flu game for Gordon Hayward.
Twenty years ago, Michael Jordan had his famous "Flu Game" during the 1997 Finals in Salt Lake City, leading the Bulls to a Game 5 victory.
But Hayward, who was suffering from food poisoning, will not be able to repeat the feat. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, Hayward will not return to Game 4 between the Jazz and Clippers in the second half.
Utah's Gordon Hayward will not return to Game 4 tonight. He has food poisoning, team says.

Hayward was only able to play nine minutes in the first half, scoring just three points.
Hopefully for the Jazz, this doesn't linger until Game 5.
