The Toronto Raptors defeated the Charlotte Hornets 116-101 on Monday night.
While the game itself was relatively uneventful, one particular sequence did garner some attention.
The moment in question occurred in the first quarter, and saw Gordon Hayward get hurt after a collision with Gary Trent Jr.

Hayward left the game and is now out indefinitely.
Afterward, his wife Robyn took to social media to express her thoughts on the entire situation.

“I was so mad last night. I’m still really frustrated,” she said. “…That guy that fell on him was trying to flop, and I don’t think players should be able to flop.”
Robyn then went on to accuse the referees of maleficence.
“The refs never ever call fouls for Gordon, and I have my opinions on why,” she said.
This isn’t Robyn’s first time going viral. Whether she is calling out the Boston media or getting called out herself for her Instagram photos – she has a tendency of finding herself in the news.

Big picture, Robyn obviously just cares about her husband – so it’s hard to feel any type of way about her reaction.
Hopefully Hayward comes back from this most recent injury strong and everyone can move past this ugly incident sooner rather than later.
