Yep, 'roid him up. He'll have stories to tell that new son of his about the time he defied a pandemic, multiple injuries, got juiced, won an NBA championship and still made it home on time to make an assist on the delivery. That's good bonding material right there.

I did the same exact thing Hayward did where I landed on someone's foot playing basketball and I missed three months. My ankle still hurts now sometimes and that was 15 years ago. I don't think people realize how serious sprains can be.

Kidding aside, Langford/Grant/Semi/Wanamaker all did an admirable job of filling in and fulfilling their roles while on the floor. It helped that the Sixers were clueless with what type of defense they're running, but our guys were solid and performed as if they've been to a high-stakes game before.

Arson as in criminally starting a fire?

Unfortunately, I don't think Robyn will ever agree to it.

I've done that same thing a bunch of times as well and was able to play again in a few days. I guess everyone is different but someone at a serious professional level, should be ready quicker than 4 weeks. IMO

He is? When did he say/indicate this?
What Hayward and the Celtics do know is that he won't be back any time soon. Because of that, Hayward said he is looking at the possibility of scheduling the impending birth of his fourth child during the time he is out.
The Celtics had been prepared for Hayward to leave the team for a few days at some point in September to be with his wife, Robyn, for the birth.
"I think it's two separate things," Hayward said, referring to his injury and the impending family addition, "but it's something I'm taking a look at. It's just very unfortunate of the timing of the whole deal, so I think I'm just trying to take it day by day, and we're looking at scheduling for the baby and all that stuff, so it's taking it day by day."
