Boston Celtics. Yesterday the Celtics defeated Philadelphia 101: 109, going up to 0: 1 in the first round series. Tonight (Tuesday) the club announced that the team star, Gordon Hayward, who injured his ankle in the game against the Sixers, will be out for about four weeks.
Meaning: Hayward will miss the first two rounds of the playoffs, and will only be able to take part in the Eastern Conference Finals series, if his team qualifies for it.
Positive news for Utah Jazz. Mike Conley, who left the bubble on Sunday ahead of the birth of his son, returned to Orlando tonight. According to Adrian Wozniacki's reports from ESPN, Utah are optimistic that the guard will finish the isolation before Game No. 3 in the series with the Denver Nuggets, and will be able to participate in the game.
Utah is 1-0 behind in the first round series, after losing to Denver yesterday, without Conley. Tomorrow (Wednesday, 23:00) will be the second game in the series, and on Friday (23:00) Game 3.
