Hayward to rejoin Celtics in video role during rehab

Gordon Hayward probably won't play again this season, but he's going to help his team in other ways.

The Boston Celtics small forward will rejoin the club and be given the lead on video projects as he recovers from a dislocated ankle and fractured tibia, coach Brad Stevens told NBA TV's Kristen Ledlow.

Hayward suffered the season-ending injury on opening night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, less than six minutes into his Celtics career. He signed with Boston following seven years with the Utah Jazz.

The 27-year-old put up 21.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and a steal last year, earning his first All-Star nod.
