Boston forward Gordon Hayward plans to leave the Celtics in September for the birth of his child.
“It’s a pretty easy decision for me on that,” Hayward told reporters Friday in a video conference. “I’ve been at the birth of every one of my children and I think there are more important things in life. So we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”
The 10-year veteran will leave the NBA's bubble in Orlando for the birth of his fourth child, then quarantine for at least four days upon his return. If he tests negative after those four days in Orlando, he will be eligible to return to the floor.
