Eleven months after suffering a season-ending ankle injury Gordon Hayward met with the media to update his recovery.
"I would say I'm basically 100 percent," Hayward said at the Auerbach Center, Boston's sparkling new training facility. "There's certain things that I think are going to take time -- even if I was 100 percent healthy, I'm not 100 percent as far as basketball-wise, just because I haven't played in a year.
"I'm trying to figure those things out. The last step for me as far as from a physical standpoint is a little explosion, that little last juice bounce that you get. So that's going to take me the longest time. But like I said, for the most part, I feel very good."
The Celtics season opener is on October 16th at home against the 76ers.
