Celtics Rule Out Jaylen Brown for Two Games Due to Knee Injury
The team will reassess Brown's condition on March 24, prioritizing his health for the postseason over regular-season seeding battles.
- Jaylen Brown is sidelined with a bone bruise and posterior impingement in his right knee, missing games on March 22 and March 24.
- The Celtics plan to reevaluate Brown's injury on March 24, leaving his availability for the remainder of the road trip uncertain.
- Brown has already missed two earlier games this month due to the same knee issue, raising concerns about its persistence.
- Boston’s strong position in the Eastern Conference standings allows the team to focus on player health rather than playoff seeding.
- Brown's All-NBA eligibility hinges on playing at least nine of the Celtics’ final 11 games to meet the league's 65-game threshold.
