The Boston Celtics forward has been downgraded from “questionable” to “out” for Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets at TD Garden thanks to a sore left foot, according to the team. The injury, which was bothering him prior to his Nov. 9 hand injury, has sidelined Hayward for the last two games.
Marcus Smart (eye infection), Vincent Poirier (right pinkie fracture) and Robert Williams (left hip bone edema) are out as well.
