Report: Celtics’ Gordon Hayward Could Return Monday vs. Cavaliers
Gordon Hayward’s return to the Celtics lineup appears to be imminent.
The high-priced forward, who has been out since Nov. 9 with a broken bone in his left hand, told reporters after Sunday’s practice that he could return Monday when the team hosts Cleveland.
"Tomorrow's a possibility," said Hayward, who the Celtics later listed as questionable. "See how I feel when I wake up, go through shootaround, see how it goes."
Monday would mark exactly four weeks since Hayward underwent surgery to repair the bone in his left hand.
The Butler product has been shooting without restrictions for more than a week. He has spent time working out with coaches as he prepared for his return.
