Jaylen Brown: Injury update| Ankle| Injured
Injury update:
For the second time in three games (with an All-Star break in between), the Detroit Pistons took the Boston Celtics down to the wire. But this time, it was the C’s who found themselves on top.
After the game on Saturday, Jaylen Brown was asked about what changed to spark this recent Celtics surge. He kept his answer simple, stating that they have just been focusing on the game ahead. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ankle:
Those lows were real, as Boston was a .500 basketball team up until January 23. Since then, however, they’ve won 12 of their last 14 games and put themselves in a position to fight for homecourt advantage in the playoffs.
Some fans had given up on the Celtics this year, but according to Brown, they don’t care about all that. Their goal is to put their heads down, block out all the noise, and just go to work.
Injured:
Atlanta took the ball immediately and in fast break they could not score after a great block by Al Horford, however, immediately it was seen how Brown could not get up and then the Celtics had to call timeout, while the 25-year-old player was taken to the locker room.
After initial tests, the sprain was determined and it was announced that Brown would not return to the game, although the player wanted to return to the court.
The game was just getting started, with 9:15 left to play in the first quarter and Boston leading 4-0 when Brown was attempting to penetrate in transition to the Atlanta paint, and without contact, fell to the TD Garden floor in a scream of pain from which he could not get up without assistance from his teammates.
