JJ Watt walks for first time since Oct. 8th / Is Hayward close behind?

[No Nickname]

JJ had a pretty serious injury including a broken tibia, plate and screws, etc. 

Gordon's injury was about a week later.  Might we see a similar video of Gordon next week?

Ainge shared on 98.5 The Sports Hub that establishing a timeline is difficult because it “changes week to week.”

In spite of the uncertainty, however, Ainge relayed that Hayward is “progressing great” and that “his spirits are up.”

“He’s doing really well,” the Celtics executive said of the forward. “It’s gonna be a long process, but he likes being around the team and the guys.”
Ainge said the next steps include getting him off crutches and into a new walking boot before moving into a brace. But regardless of any progress, Ainge has emphasized that the forward is still a “long way from getting on the court.”

i was curious if he was putting weight on it yet .

he lucky ,  if I did that as kid , my parents would have had me up mowing the yard in 8 weeks and planting a garden . 

Yes , they might have been put in jail back then by todays child abuse stds.

Should not be long till he can put some weight on it I imagine .

There has been absolute silence in regards to Gordon's rehab in recent weeks. Since he was put in a 'walking' boot, I would assume the plan is for him to walk sooner rather than later. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he is already semi-hobbling around the house. I imagine it is driving him crazy shooting from a chair.

Edit: TP to CelticsElite for this thread where Ainge actually does give some vague updates about Gordon's progress...

It’s pretty amazing that it’s somewhat easy to forget that the player who signed the largest contract in team history had a gruesome injury on opening night.  When I’m watching games, I just forget he’s on the team.  And then when I remember, I can’t wait for him to get back!
