Hayward appeared optimistic about making a return sooner rather than later, telling reporters he potentially could return as early as Monday hours before the injury report was released.
“See how you feel when you wake up, go through shootaround,” Hayward said, per The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn. “We’ll see how it goes.”
