Gordon Hayward has not ruled out a return this season but still has no timetable.

Hayward suffered a broken ankle on opening night in October.

Hayward said he's taking his rehab day-by-day.

"The recovery is going well. Haven't thought about (when I would return). Something I'm still working for," said Hayward.

Brad Stevens recently told the media that Hayward will not return this season.

medical staff hasn't ruled him out

Stevens said he is done - so I think he is done. Nice to see him optimistic but don't see him coming back UNLESS they go deep as in WCF or the finals. Even then he would be a little rusty. Get well soon my man.

dust off that Paul Pierce Celtic Wheelchair, it might need to make a second round cameo

Ya, he hasn't played for the whole season, doubt he'll help his team immediately in tough competition.

With how the Celtics have kept insisting that he wouldn't be back this year, I knew this was coming. They'll bring him back out of desperation the moment they get down a couple games in a playoff series, just watch.

Blah blah blah....

i don't think thats a likely scenario.

Stevens is right to play the team thinking Hayward is not coming back...otherwise it's giving false hope.

Don't bring him back. Not worth it. Next year will be a good year for the Celtics

Listen to your boyfriend.
