Jaylen Brown wasn’t even a lock to play on Sunday, but you wouldn’t have guessed it by the way he led Boston past Denver. He finished with 22 points, eight assists, and five rebounds, despite being listed as questionable with right knee pain just hours before tipoff. Lately, Brown’s been taking a beating. He missed Wednesday’s game against Detroit after suffering a thigh contusion in Toronto.
But instead of sitting out longer, he powered through on Friday, dropping 37 points against Cleveland. Now, the knee pain is a new addition to his list of bumps and bruises, but that didn’t stop him from showing up and delivering when Boston needed him. This season, the Celtics have managed a 7-3 record without him on the floor.
After Boston’s victory over the Nuggets, he was asked about his latest issue—right knee pain.
“Um, I’m not sure. It’s been bothering me since, uh, before the break,” Brown admitted. “Um, something I’ll definitely take a look at, but you know, um, is this the season, I’m, you know, making excuses for, but, um, just, you know, try to take care of my body as best as possible and get out there. And do what my team needs me to do. Um, so we’ll see how it [goes] going forward.”
Despite dealing with lingering pain, Brown continues to push through, doing whatever it takes to stay on the court for the Celtics.
