Gordon Hayward and and Aron Baynes both underwent successful operations today, the Celtics announced on their website.
Hayward, who wasn’t able to return after fracturing his fibula on opening night, had a plate and screws removed that were inserted after the injury. Plans call for him to resume basketball activities in six to eight weeks, and he is expected to be at full strength when training camp opens in September.
The team describes Hayward’s ankle and fibula as “structurally sound,” adding that the plate and screws needed to be taken out because they were irritating his peroneal tendons.
Baynes needed nasal septoplasty surgery after suffering a fracture during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. He is expected to resume basketball activities in two to four weeks.
I am not liking the look of Hayward or Kyrie, having a few ops going on, not so sure there knee, ankle is so sound as they keep telling us… maybe is DA trying to talk them so he can fleece another team, as he always does.
Trading either would be s great way to ensure no free agents want to come to Boston
Danny won’t pay Smart the huge $ he wants. They will need Heyward/Irving draft picks. Gotta have deep bench. Warriors play 10. 8 in playoffs.
So if this surgery on Hayward was needed, does that mean that the previous surgery was UNsuccessful?
It means that after he healed he doesmt need the plates or screws anymore
