Gordon Hayward says ‘the reins are off’ and he’s ready to be ‘the player I came here to be’

Even since Gordon Hayward announced he was signing with the Celtics in a 2017 piece for the Players’ Tribune, Boston fans have been waiting to see his talent in full flight.

A gruesome opening-night ankle injury in his first game with the Celtics altered Hayward’s trajectory with the team. He has spent his time since the night of his injury attempting to regain the same form that once made him an All-Star.

In a new post on his personal blog, Hayward recently described his thoughts on the upcoming season, with players set to report to training camp next week.
