Full recovery expected for Celtics' Hayward

BOSTON — Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens says Gordon Hayward is expected to make a full recovery from the gruesome injury he sustained in the team’s opener.

Stevens told reporters before the Celtics’ home opener against Milwaukee that Hayward has a dislocated ankle and broken tibia. He is expected to have surgery soon, Stevens says he isn’t sure if Hayward will be able to return this season.

Hayward signed a four-year, $128 million contract with the Celtics.
