Meanwhile, the Celtics seem to be focused on figuring out how to proceed with Gordon Hayward. The 30-year-old had his player option deadline extended from Tuesday to Thursday and appears to be a prime sign-and-trade candidate. The Atlanta Hawks reportedly are "in play" to trade for Hayward or sign him in free agency if he declines his option.

NBA free agency is set to begin on Friday.
