BOSTON, MA – Celtics forward Gordon Hayward today underwent successful surgery to remove the plate and screws that were implanted following the broken fibula he suffered on October 17. Hayward’s ankle and fibula are both structurally sound, and the removal of the plate and screws was necessary as they were causing irritation to his peroneal tendons. He is scheduled to return to basketball activities in six to eight weeks, and is expected to be at full strength for the start of training camp.

Additionally, Celtics center Aron Baynes underwent successful nasal septoplasty surgery for a nasal fracture he suffered during Game 6 of Boston’s Eastern Conference Finals series against Cleveland. Baynes is expected to return to basketball activities in two to four weeks.

did they cut Baynes hair while he was under?

I was just wondering.

Danny Ainge Explains Why Gordon Hayward Needed Second Ankle Procedure

Looking back, it’s probably a good thing Gordon Hayward didn’t make a triumphant return to the Boston Celtics this season.

Hayward underwent a second surgery Wednesday to remove a plate and screws from his left leg, a procedure that surprised some who may have thought he was further along in his recovery from a fractured tibia and dislocated ankle.

Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge offered more clarity Thursday morning on why Hayward underwent the operation.

“Gordon felt like he was making great strides and getting close, but he still had a little bit of pain in one little spot that persisted over the last couple months,” Ainge said during his weekly radio appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Toucher & Rich.”

“(The Celtics’ medical staff) felt like it was being caused by the hardware, and they just took the hardware and did some testing on it, and tested that his left foot is even stronger than his right foot when that pain is alleviated. So, they just felt like they were going to get the hardware out.

“His bone had completely healed and the muscles and tissues and everything had all healed, and they just wanted to get that hardware out. So, that was the safest bet of him being 100 percent by next year so there wouldn’t be any lingering effects.”

Hayward indeed is expected back by training camp in the fall, and after a few minor setbacks earlier this year, it appears he’s now on track for a full recovery.

The same can be said for Hayward’s teammate, Kyrie Irving, who underwent a similar procedure in April. The Celtics guard had two screws removed from his left knee, the site of a 2015 surgery, after an infection cropped up at the site of the screws.

MY NOTE:  One can argue there aren't enough minutes to go around at the wing position but there can be no doubt that we will be much deeper and stronger with Hayward.
