One of the Boston Celtics’ top players might miss the foreseeable future. Jaylen Brown’s adductor injury could cause him to “skip a week or two,” according to Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla.
Brown popped up on the injury report for the Brooklyn Nets game on Thursday with adductor tightness. After initially being listed as questionable, Brown was downgraded to out shortly before the game.
Speaking before the game in Brooklyn, Mazzulla said the Celtics will know more in the next couple of days, but that he doesn’t expect Brown to be out long-term.
Brown has missed only two games thus far this regular season. Brown didn’t play in a mid-November game on a back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons. He also missed a late-November game, again on a back-to-back, against the Charlotte Hornets. The Celtics won both of those contests.
This season, Brown is waging an All-NBA campaign. He’s averaging 27.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, which are both career-highs. Brown has shot 49.8% from the field, which is also a career-best figure.
