Gordon Hayward set to re-enter the NBA bubble

After a pair of losses to the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Celtics have some good news coming their way.

Forward Gordon Hayward will rejoin the team in the NBA’s bubble in Orlando on Sunday.

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens told reporters Saturday that Hayward is still not expected to play “anytime soon.”

Hayward suffered a grade III right ankle sprain in the Celtics’ Game 1 victory over the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs. The team announced the following day, Aug. 18, that Hayward was expected to miss approximately four weeks.
