Gordon Hayward Feels He’s Ahead Of Schedule; Still No Official Timetable
The Celtics have gone 6-3 without Gordon Hayward, but Boston is inching closer and closer to getting the forward back into its lineup.
Hayward, who was seen going through shooting drills at TD Garden and the Auerbach Center over the last week, says he feels ahead of schedule, per NBC Sports Boston’s A. Sherrod Blakely. There still is no “definitive” timetable for his return.
