Gordon Hayward will put his family first when it comes to playing in the NBA’s return to play in Orlando, Fla., if the situation at home compels him leave the bubble.
Speaking to reporters Friday, the Boston Celtics star addressed his wife Robyn’s pregnancy. Hayward indicated it would it would be a “pretty easy decision” for him to leave Orlando if she were to go into labor in September, which would occur during the postseason as currently scheduled.
“There’ll be a time if and when we’re down there and she’s going to have the baby, I’m for sure going to be with her,” Hayward said of his wife, Robyn, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN. “We’ll have to cross that bridge when we get there.”
The Haywards already are parents to three young children, and Hayward admits it will be tough to leave his family when the Celtics travel to Orlando for the season’s resumption, which is scheduled to tip off on July 30 at the Walt Disney World Resort’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
