It’s no secret that Nick Kyrgios is a huge Celtics fan. The Australian tennis player has worn plenty of Celtics jerseys and apparel while working out in the past, and he took his appreciation one step forward by wearing Gordon Hayward’s jersey during a recent practice session before the U.S. Open.
Hayward returned the nod of support back to Kyrgios on Tuesday, tweeting that he would be “cheering” for Kyrgios during his first-round match with Steve Johnson.
I love it! Cheering him on tonight https://t.co/LjV3YTrNxM

Kyrgios detailed his fandom with the Celtics in a personal essay he wrote for the Players Tribune.
