Brad Stevens Doesn't Expect Gordon Hayward To Return This Season

[RealGM Wiretap]

Brad Stevens reiterated to the media on Saturday that Gordon Hayward will not return this season.

There has been speculation about the possibility of Hayward playing again this season as he recovers from his ankle injury suffered on opening night.

While the Celtics received an injured player exception, Hayward would be eligible to return if medically cleared.

Just rest. Long road ahead.

Lets be real, first game or or not, that's not the type of injury that heals well in just 6 months. For the best interest of Hayward and the team, give the few extra months to heal. Rushing back would just give the Celtics a rusty Hayward, maybe setbacks, and what not.

if they make it to the finals and hes ready to play then maybe. but he's going to be raw without an adjustment period. no way he should come back this season.

You can rest when you're daed, He'll come back when he's cleared by doctors, unlike Kawhi.

You don't quite comprehend how this works don't you?
