Gordon Hayward is already putting up shots...

...from his wheelchair. Or hospital bed or whatever apparatus that he's using to stay off of his feet. But hey, any progress is good progress, right?

While Celtics were on road, Brad Stevens asked Gordon Hayward if he needed anything. GH asked for basketball and Brad’s wife dropped one off

Brad Stevens said the first thing Gordon Hayward asked for after his surgery was a basketball. "He might've started chair-shooting already."

It's great news that Gordon Hayward will soon be able to hang out at the Boston Celtics' practice facility in Waltham. I'm sure that focusing on recovery while being around his teammates will be extra motivating for him. He's just got to keep baby stepping, and soon enough, we'll see him back in a green jersey. He's not a slacker.
