Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward says he will leave the NBA bubble if his wife goes into labor while the Boston Celtics are in the playoffs.
Robyn Hayward is due in September and the birth of their child could happen sometime during the Eastern Conference semifinals, conference finals or NBA Finals.
“That’s a pretty easy decision for me on that,” Hayward said on a video conference call on Friday. “I’ve been there for the birth of all my children.”
The Celtics are in third place in the East and unlikely to catch Toronto for second place in the final eight seeding games before the playoffs.
