A devastating leg injury somehow hasn’t stopped Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward from improving his basketball skills while he’s on the mend.

It turns out that there are things you can work on while sitting in a chair on a court and in the weight room.

“For the first month and a half, I wasn’t able to stand on my foot, so I did a lot of stuff out of a chair,” he told For The Win on Tuesday. “So just like around the rim, different spins and flicks you can do, kind of the stuff Kyrie Irving does naturally. I’ve been able to work on the left hand with passing out of a chair. In the weight room, it’s a lot of range of motion stuff like stretching and mobility, things that I definitely needed to do on my right leg.”

Hayward spoke to For The Win while promoting the fact that he’s 13th on Dick’s Sporting Goods’ Jersey Report (which measures their best-sellers), an incredible feat given that he’s played all of one game for the Celts. That’s all part of the motivation he gets from Boston die-hards hoping to see him back on the court soon, although he warns that he’s not coming back just yet.

“It’s definitely a long process,” he said. “People see me coming out of a boot [and think] that I’m about to play in the next month. That’s definitely far from the truth. I’m right on schedule, where the Celtics want me to be.”

The process has included some positives to get him through all the tough days. The avid gamer has been able to play his current favorite, Destiny 2 and spend more time with his adorable daughters.

Now that he’s out of the boot, he’s looking forward to the next steps in his rehab to give all those fans in Hayward jerseys what they’re hoping for.

“I want to make sure that when I do get back that I’m every bit the player I was and better,” he said.
