Gordon Hayward Already Back on Court Shooting and Believes Video Games Have Helped His Rehab

You probably know Gordon Hayward best as the NBA player on the Boston Celtics. But did you know he has another impressive talent?

Hayward is actually an avid video gamer and he's been able to continuing showcasing his skills despite having a broken hand. What's even crazier is that Hayward believes gaming is helping his injury rehab.

According to the man himself, it's the frequent use of his fingers has apparently played a role in helping his progression.

This sounds a bit crazy, but it might be working. Hayward was seen on the court Sunday already putting shots up. Whatever the case, we know playing video games hasn't hurt his rehab because he's coming along quickly ever since going down.

We know Hayward is a big Fortnite fan, which has led some to jokingly speculate how peculiar it is that his injury coincided with the release of Fortnite Chapter 2...

Given the Celtics' early-season success, Hayward missing some time with injury hasn't been detrimental to the team and it's given himself ample time to hit the sticks. We'd call that a win-win.
