Hayward (back) will not play in Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hayward continues to deal with the back contusion that he suffered in last Monday's preseason outing. He wasn't able to participate in practice Friday and will now have to sit out Sunday. Consider him questionable for Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Thunder, but he still has 10 days to get healthy before the regular season opener, so expect him to be ready at that point in time.
