Asked about Hawyard's progress before Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors, Stevens reaffirmed the team does not expect him back this season.
"He makes a lot of shots standing still. I mean, a lot. Like, he's a heck of a standstill shooter now," said Stevens, gently poking fun at the stir that video of Hayward's pregame shooting created. "And he's really good in a chair, too. But nothing new. We don't anticipate him being back this season."
Hayward, who fractured his left ankle on opening night in Cleveland, has had notable milestones in recent months.
