Born on March 23, 1990, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Hayward grew up in a sports-loving family. His parents, Gordon Scott Hayward and Jody Hayward, encouraged his passion for basketball, and he quickly excelled in the sport.

After two more seasons with the Celtics, Hayward was traded to the Charlotte Hornets in a sign-and-trade agreement in 2020.
