Jaylen Brown questionable with right ankle sprain

Jaylen Brown is questionable for tomorrow with a right ankle sprain. Kemba Walker seems to be on the right track with his knee soreness, as he is listed as probable.


He sprained his ankle? And that thumb sprain? It was so tantalizing to see our starting 5 humming along again... hopefully Jaylen's good to go tomorrow but seriously can't get to the All-Star break fast enough!

I think the league actually passed a new rule that the Celtics may not have their top 6 players all available to play normal minutes for two games in a row.

cripes, knew good health was too good to last

It was to make an even playing field for the rest of the league

Yeah, he tweaked it at the end of the Lakers game (on a drive to the hoop before he hit the last 3- CWebb actually mentioned it.) Real unfortunate.

Which sucks because a very strong case could be made that he shouldn't have still been in the game when it happened.

I think that was a favor to Jaylen to help his All Star case. I don't think it was a coincidence he got pulled when he hit 20 points (he is averaging 20.0 ppg). I'll support this argument with the fact that Jaylen played through the ankle tweak until he hit that last 3. Unfortunately, it backfired.

For what it's worth, this season when Kemba, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, and Smart are all available to play, the Celts record is

7 wins 4 losses

with a differential of +8.45 per game
