Gordon Hayward has given his boot the boot.
Two months after his Boston Celtics debut and the 2017-18 season were spoiled by a gruesome leg injury — a left ankle dislocation-fracture — the former Utah Jazz star is now moving about on his own without crutches or a walking boot.
"Today has been awesome without the walking boot," Hayward told ESPN.
The 27-year-old made a public appearance on Wednesday, and video showed him walking on his own.
"I feel all right, I guess as well as I could," Hayward told reporters Wednesday. "I'm out of the boot right now so that's good, and I'm slowly getting better.
