Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward confirmed that he expects to miss the remainder of the 2017-18 season while recovering from surgery to fix the fractured ankle he suffered in a gruesome opening-night injury in Cleveland.
Hayward, posting an entry entitled, "In an Instant" to his personal blog and Facebook page on Wednesday night, chronicled the past two weeks and gushed about the support he's received.
Hayward acknowledged that his surgery included both repairing the bone he fractured in his ankle and repairing torn ligaments. While some have wondered if he might be able to return this season, Hayward wrote that he does not expect to be back.
