The Celtics take on the Toronto Raptors tonight in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Gordon Hayward appears to be making significant progress in his recovery from the ankle sprain he suffered during Game 1 of the Boston Celtics' first-round playoff series vs. the Philadelphia 76ers.
Prior to the C's Game 7 matchup against the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, Hayward took the court to get some shots up. It's a welcoming sight for the Celtics as Hayward's presence could give them a huge boost if they advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Hayward cleared quarantine earlier this week upon his return to the Orlando bubble. While it remains unclear when exactly the 30-year-old will return to action, it seems that will be sooner rather than later.
Of course, Boston has to get past Toronto first. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals tips off at 9 p.m., and NBC Sports Boston will have complete coverage of the game immediately after the final buzzer.
