In the C's-Jazz game Wednesday night at Vivint Smart Home Arena, Hayward was greeted with loud boos as soon as he touched the basketball.

You could say the fans in Salt Lake City were a bit... salty.

Hayward spent the first seven seasons of his career (2010-17) with the Jazz, averaging 15.7 points and 4.2 rebounds. He was named an All-Star during the 2016-17 campaign. This was his second game back in Utah since signing with the Celtics. In his first, in November of 2018, he was also booed loudly as he had 13 points and seven assists in a 123-115 Boston loss.
