The Boston Celtics have upgraded small forward Gordon Hayward to probable for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Hayward has missed the last two games for the Celtics because of a knee contusion:

Considering Hayward’s injury history, the Celtics were relieved he didn't need another surgery.
Hayward has appeared in 43 games for the Celtics this season. The swingman is averaging 16.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists while shooting 50.3 percent from the field, 38.3 percent from beyond the arc and 85.4 percent from the free-throw line.
Hayward is making $32,700,690 this season. He has a player option worth $34,187,085 for next season. The veteran will likely pick that option up and remain with the Celtics since he has a injury history now.
The Celtics are 42-20 on the season. They are in third place in the Eastern Conference standings.
