According to The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn, Hayward was hit in the elbow at some point during the first half of the game at TD Garden but didn’t make head coach Brad Stevens aware until the third quarter. The good news, though, is that Stevens doesn’t believe it to be anything serious.
Hayward will be evaluated Monday, per Washburn.
