The Heat are the "current favorite" to sign the free agent forward, Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer reported on Saturday.

The Celtics have been linked to Hayward for a while now thanks to the link of his former college coach, Brad Stevens.

Hayward, 27, averaged 21.9 points a game in his seventh season with the Utah Jazz in 2016-17.
