Gordon Hayward’s wife sent Celtics fans into a frenzy with her latest (and now deleted) Instagram post
The Celtics offseason is expected to be a busy one, with many fans hoping to see a Butler reunion between Brad Stevens and Gordon Hayward next season in Boston.
Though the future is still uncertain for the current Utah Jazz forward, Hayward’s wife lit a fuse to the rumor mill Sunday when she shared a photo of their daughter wearing a shirt with “Go Green” printed on the back.

She ultimately deleted the post from her Instagram account, but that didn’t stop the Internet from interpreting it as a sign Hayward would be signing with the Celtics.

Yes, I bet she’s the first mother whose husband is about to make a $120 million decision who doesn’t think about how she dresses her kids. 😐

Hayward’s wife later clarified that the shirt is St. Patrick’s Day-themed.
“For the record, I got this shirt on sale for the girls because they had it in both their sizes,” she captioned a screenshot showing the front of the shirt. “It’s a St. Patrick’s Day shirt.”
