A timetable regarding Hayward’s return will be available after the procedure, which will take place in New York, Wojnarowski reported. Coach Brad Stevens noted earlier Monday morning that surgery could actually expedite the recovery.
“That’s what I’ve been told,” Stevens said. “I’m not a doctor. But I’ve been told, for whatever reason, that would stabilize it and improve the timeline.”
Hayward suffered the injury during the second quarter of Saturday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs when he collided with LaMarcus Aldridge on a screen. Aldridge was called for an offensive foul, while Hayward shook his left hand and immediately exited the court for the locker room.
