What Happened to Jaylen Brown? Celtics Make Last Minute Decision After 28-YO Star Was Caught Limping

Wait 5 sec.

Boston is rolling, but they can’t take their foot off the gas. The Celtics are locked in right now. Tuesday night’s 111-101 win over the Raptors wasn’t just another win—it was their tenth in the last 11 games and their sixth straight. Boston hit the road Tuesday to start a back-to-back, facing the Raptors in Toronto. No injury worries for Jaylen Brown heading in—he was good to go. And he played like it, putting in 33 minutes as the Celtics handled business with a comfortable win.Boston is holding onto the No. 2 seed, but with 24 games left, they need every edge they can get. Wednesday’s showdown with the Pistons won’t be a cakewalk—Detroit is suddenly red-hot, riding a seven-game win streak and winning eight of their last ten.And just when the Celtics could use all hands on deck,  Brown lands on the injury report again. He’s been ruled out with a left thigh contusion, which is the last thing Boston fans want to hear. Brown’s thigh bruise isn’t surprising. He was clearly limping after taking that knee-to-knee hit against the Raptors last night. Brown has been huge this season, averaging 22.9 points, 4.7 assists, and 6.1 rebounds. You saw what he did last year—Finals MVP for a reason. Jaylen Brown is OUT with a thigh bruise.
