Gordon Hayward is already back in the gym

Gordon Hayward likely won't be back this season for the Celtics, but a fractured ankle hasn't kept the Celtics star out of the gym.

On Sunday night, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge shared a photo of Hayward practicing his shooting from a chair.

Hayward, who underwent surgery on Oct. 18, set up his shot just shy of the free-throw line. And while he has a long way to go before he'll be able to put any significant weight on that ankle, it has to be a great sight just to see Hayward back in the gym … in any capacity.

Ainge was certainly thrilled about the news.
