BOSTON – Gordon Hayward isn’t nostalgic. What for? It’s been 14 months since he left Boston. A full season has passed. Another half of one, too. He still speaks to people within the Celtics organization. His Celtics ex-teammate, Terry Rozier, is now a current one. Injuries and last season’s downsized schedule are the only reason he hasn’t been to Boston, a city Hayward called home for three years and where Hayward insists he has positive memories.
“I think that I built a lot of great relationships in Boston,” Hayward said in a phone interview.
