This week, the Boston Celtics might have stumbled a bit against a healthier San Antonio Spurs squad - but they also got some news that ought to have you pretty excited.

That news - that Gordon Hayward might come back this season - is still a long way off from reality, with many benchmarks that will need to be met. But it's officially OK to start thinking about how his return might impact the season (and for that matter, Hayward himself). Join Mark Allison and Topher Lane as they tackle this most interesting of thought experiments, as well as the deal that sent Jahlil Okafor to the Brooklyn Nets, where the rest of the Celts' roster stacks up against the best players in the league, and a whole lot more! So get your earphones ready, plug those bad boys in, and get up to speed with the week in Celtics news from your favorite CelticsLife writers.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
