ORIGINAL STORY: Gordon Hayward’s return to the court will have to wait.
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.
