Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

As the Celtics limped to 6-4 without Gordon Hayward on Friday in a 112-107 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the team/star forward offered some encouraging news on the progress Hayward has made.

Boston Celtics wing Gordon Hayward told reporters prior to Friday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets that he believed he was ahead of schedule in his recovery.

On Saturday, following Boston’s practice in New York, Brad Stevens said Hayward can participate in certain drills with the team now.
