The Boston Celtics will be getting some reinforcements for their Christmas Day tilt against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
Coach Brad Stevens told reporters ahead of the game, which tips off at 12:00 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena, that Gordon Hayward is “good to go” after missing the team’s previous three games with foot soreness.

The pain is reportedly related to the gruesome leg injury that saw the 29-year-old forward suffer a dislocated ankle and fractured tibia in his 2017 debut for the Celtics.
Hayward is averaging 17.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists on 55.6 per-cent shooting from the field and 39.5 per cent from three across 11 games for Boston this season.
