The 2017-18 season is two games old, and the Boston Celtics have lost both of theirs. One at the TD Garden on Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, when Giannis Antetokounmpo put up 37 points and looked something like the M.V.P. they think he can be in Wisconsin. As in the loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday, when Gordon Hayward fractured his tibia and dislocated his ankle, horribly, five minutes into the game, Wednesday seemed to be more about Hayward than any action on the court—rightly and understandably so.

The 2017-18 season is two games old, and the Boston Celtics have lost both of theirs. One road game, against the team they have designs on usurping this year. One at the TD Garden on Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, when Giannis Antetokounmpo put up 37 points and looked something like the M.V.P. they think he can be in Wisconsin. Let’s say there have been easier starts to a regular season for a team, and a marquee new player, to deal with. As in the loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday, when Gordon Hayward fractured his tibia and dislocated his ankle, horribly, five minutes into the game, Wednesday seemed to be more about Hayward than any action on the Continue to Article

The Nets’ projected record this season came under greater scrutiny when the Celtics traded Brooklyn’s unprotected first-round pick to the Cavaliers in the Kyrie Irving trade. After finishing third-to-last and last the previous two years, were the Nets poised to take a step forward, or would they convey a very high pick to the Cavs? Jeremy Lin, who missed 46 games last season, getting healthy was a reason for optimism in Brooklyn and pessimism in Cleveland. Continue to Article

Celtics forward Gordon Hayward sent a video message from his hospital bed before the team's home opener, telling Boston fans: "It hurts me that I can't be there." The crowd at the TD Garden for the Celtics' game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night cheered when Hayward appeared on the video screen, wearing a hospital gown and sitting up in bed. He said he was watching the game on TV and "I'm going to be all right." Hayward was injured in the sixth minute of his first game for the Celtics, crumpling to the floor Tuesday in Cleveland with a gruesome ankle injury. Coach Brad Stevens said Hayward is expected to make a full recovery, but it's not clear if it will be this season. Continue to Article
