It’s the latest glimpse of Hayward’s rehab process as the Boston Celtics’ star recovers from the ankle injury he suffered minutes into opening night.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge and coach Brad Stevens have repeatedly said that they don’t anticipate Hayward returning to the court this season.
