All-Star Hayward agrees to sign with Celtics from Jazz

FREE agent Gordon Hayward has agreed to join the Boston Celtics in a move which will reunite him with his former US college coach Brad Stevens, The Players’ Tribune said on Tuesday.

The All-Star swingman addressed his decision to move from the Utah Jazz to the Celtics in an article he wrote for the website which was titled “Thank You Utah”. Hayward also spurned the Miami Heat to commit to the Celtics and Stevens, who coached him at Butler University. “And that unfinished business we had together, back in 2010, when I left Butler for the NBA,” Hayward wrote of Stevens, who has been with the Celtics since the 2013-14 season. “As far as I’m concerned, all of these years later, we still have it: And that’s to win a championship.” Hayward averaged 21.9 points last season and played in his first All-Star game.
