Gordon Hayward underwent surgery Monday to repair a fourth metacarpal fracture in his left hand and is expected to return to the Boston Celtics in six weeks.
Hayward suffered the injury in Saturday's 135-115 win over the San Antonio Spurs when he collided with Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was trying to set a screen from behind that Hayward didn't see coming. Aldridge was called for an offensive foul on the play, and Hayward, whose left arm got caught between his body and Aldridge's, immediately began shaking his hand and went straight to Boston's locker room.
