NBA Rumors: Gordon Hayward To Undergo Surgery On Broken Hand, Return Unclear
It appears Gordon Hayward will undergo surgery on his broken hand.
The Celtics forward suffered the injury in the second quarter of Boston’s 135-115 win over the Spurs when he collided with San Antonio forward LaMarcus Aldridge. Hayward visited doctors Monday to discuss his best option moving forward and a decision reportedly was made.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Monday, citing Hayward’s agent Mark Bartelstein, that he will undergo surgery Monday afternoon in New York and a “timeline for his return will come after the procedure.”

Losing Hayward certainly is a significant blow to the C’s offense. The forward was averaging 20.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game ahead of his injury.
