Celtics coach Brad Stevens said forward Gordon Hayward is no longer on a minutes restriction, even on the second night of back-to-backs.
Hayward, who played a season high 39 minutes in the Celtics’ 123-116 overtime win over the Toronto Raptors on Friday, was a full go in Boston’s matchup against the Jazz on Saturday.
Brad Stevens says he was told Gordon Hayward is not on a minutes restriction, so last night, he didn’t even think about leaving him in. Coach just wanted to play who he believed would help us most in grabbing a win.
