Gordon Hayward had successful surgery on his fractured left hand on Monday. He will be sidelined for approximately six weeks.

Hayward fractured the fourth metacarpal bone (ring finger) on his left hand.

It’s the same injury ex-Celtics center Aron Baynes suffered in December of last season last year. Baynes had a timetable of four to six weeks and returned in four.
