Gordon Hayward on his broken hand…

"Bone has healed, probably stronger than my right hand. There’s a plate in there with screws. The bone is good. … Tomorrow’s a possibility. See how I feel when I wake up, go through shootaround, see how it goes."

Gordon Hayward has spent a month on the sidelines following a November 9th clash with LaMarcus Aldridge in San Antonio. The 16-5 Celtics host the 5-17 Cleveland Cavaliers Monday night at 7:30pm.
Gordon Hayward possibly playing tomorrow is about as good a result as the Celtics could have have hoped for given his injury. The bone is fully healed and he could give it a go. If not tomorrow, I'd expect him to play later this week with IND/PHI back-to-back on tap Wed/Thu.
