Bartelstein told ESPN's Jackie MacMullan the surgery will involve "a bunch of different things,'' including inserting a plate and screws to stabilize Hayward's ankle and tibia.

It is too soon, Bartelstein said, to put a timetable on Hayward's recovery.

"We'll have a better idea after the surgery,'' Bartelstein said.

Dr. Mark Slovenkai, chief of foot and ankle surgery for New England Baptist and Dr. Brian McKeon, the Celtics team physician, will perform the surgery.


"I was [at the hospital] for a minute last night and also again today for an hour or so. He's down," Stevens said. "Obviously, there's a physical pain to it, but I think it's also doubled by the emotional pain of, you know, he put a lot of effort into trying to start this, his career, out well in Boston



Update- Robyn says it went well

Involve a bunch of different things? Hmm that doesn’t sound good

Hoping for the best.  They keep saying clean break and that is very fortunate given how it looked.

In my view, Robyn was the best acquisition of the offseason.  100% serious.

Guys, he's done for the season, stop rushing things. He needs full recovery, phisicaly and mentaly. Let's move on. Season's gonna be long, too long to watch.

Since orthopedic surgeons have stated that a March return is possible, it makes sense that fans might actually think that a March return is possible.  I think all of us who choose to be hopeful about a '17-'18 return will be OK if it turns out otherwise.

No, they haven't. At least we don't know they did. We just read different knews from different journalists. We have no official postoperative statement from any surgeont. Players were lost for the season with smaller injuries than this. I appriciate your hopes but it's more realistic we see GH ready for next October.

The body can heal before the mind with an injury like that.

Honestly, there's no real reason to being him back this season after that injury. Even if he comes back best case, you still have to get him back in game shape and incorporated into a unit that will have played together the entire season. Let him heal and get ready for training camp next summer.
