Head coach Brad Stevens revealed to radio station ‘98.5 Sports Hub’ that the 29-year-old Frontcourt is indeed injured in the right ankle, not seriously enough to require a long-term break, but he needs to see if he is ready to compete in the away game at Fiserv Forum.  ( mungmee168 ) 

“We estimate that he will be able to return to the competition in the short term. As for the game against the Bucks, we hope that he will be able to compete, but that cannot be confirmed yet.” 

Hayward needs to be evaluated for a sprained ankle.

Hayward was injured while practicing one-on-one with teammate Semi Oyele at the Oilbach Center during All-Star Weekend, and his role on the team this season has been as a reserve scorer, averaging 11.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 26 minutes per game.
