When Celtics forward Gordon Hayward celebrated his 30th birthday on March 23, his wife Robyn offered to get him a basketball hoop as a gift.
But Hayward declined.
At that point, the NBA season had been suspended for 12 days and Hayward was hopeful the league’s return might be sooner rather than later. Plus, the weather in Boston was still a bit dreary. So, he turned down his wife’s proposition and continued to make do with the home gym in the couple’s basement.
Now, with no clarity surrounding the NBA’s return, Hayward is reconsidering. Perhaps he should get a hoop just to be able to get some shots up again.
