Gordon Hayward has every right to take the season and concentrate on recovering after his horrific injury on opening night, but the Celtics forward isn’t going to let a cast stop him.

Go Gordon!
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
On Thursday, The Today Show sat down with Hayward to discuss his injury and recovery — filming him practicing from a chair. Before you think this was a one-off done for the cameras, think again. On Sunday, Celtics head coach Danny Ainge snapped a photo of Hayward on the court again, this time working on his free throws from a chair.
Sure he’s in from of the stripe, but he’s also shooting from a lower angle — so this has some merit. It’s a darn shame we don’t get to see him on the court this year, but his dedication is so darn commendable.
