Isaiah Thomas Says Problems Between Gordon Hayward, Jae Crowder Are Over

Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas told CSN New England on Friday he believes problems between Gordon Hayward and Jae Crowder will soon be a thing of the past.

"We trying to win a championship, so we put all that aside," Thomas said. "We're gonna try to figure this thing out sooner rather than later and then try to compete for a championship. All those other things, I think it goes out the window now that you're teammates."

In January, Crowder vented to reporters about Boston fans cheering for Hayward before the Celtics' 115-104 win over the Utah Jazz.

"I heard the cheering [for Hayward] before the game," Crowder said Jan. 3, per CSNNE. " I didn't like that at all. I think that was a sign of disrespect to me from the fans. That sparked a little fire in me."

Crowder's frustration also spilled over on Twitter:

But now that the two are teammates, Crowder can put those events in the rearview mirror and focus on teaming up with Hayward—who plans to sign a four-year, $128 million deal, per The Vertical's Shams Charania—to try to dethrone the Cleveland Cavaliers atop the Eastern Conference.
