JB diagnosed with a facial fracture…

[radiohead]

He might miss the All Star Game. Man this sucks for JB. He worked hard for this. Hopefully wearing a mask allows him to play.

Ughhh, we knew it was bad after seeing the replay and his reaction. This stinks, especially with big games against Memphis but particularly Milwaukee coming up.

Still though, it’s only four games if he’s back by the end of the All Star Break.

These injuries today really highlighting the need for a backup wing and big.

[dang] it!

Whaddaya know, injuries throwing a monkey wrench into Boston’s season. Shocking.

That really bites .for him and the team.

Get well soon Jalen ,  another hill to climb.

All things considered, it’s not that bad (of course, it’s not my face).  Sucks if he won’t be able to play in the All-Star game, but maybe he can get in for at least a couple of minutes if he’s wearing a mask.  That’s a pretty low-contact version of basketball they play.

At least the rest will hopefully keep his knees/hamstrings fresh, and I doubt he’ll miss too much time.  Thanks to the break, the Celtics only play four games in the next two weeks, which is typically the amount of time players miss before coming back with a mask, and the mask should be off by the playoffs.

Can a mask protect a fractured jaw? That’s where he got hit right?

Edit: just watched relay. It may have been the cheek. That would be better.

The bad news is, facial injury and has to wear a mask for a period of time. Good news is, if he's out for ASG then he can rest his knees and further conserve health for the playoffs.

That being said, Brad needs to make a move to get the wing position some reinforcements.

[terra haute]

He should not be playing in the all Star game regardless now. He made the team absolutely no reason even if he can play not to take the time off

[ozgod]

Sucks, but it could be worse.

[celticinorlando]

Better find a wing Brad.

[SHAQATTACK]

I bet his head is about to explode this morning . 
Probably looks like he was in a car wreck.
Poor guy , take lots of drugs and disappear away from everybody

Says the fan base of every playoff level team.  Unless you get a season ender to a core player, consider yourself lucky.  We’ve been lucky so far.

Bummer for JB.  Sucks that he'll miss the ASG.  It's such an accomplishment.

Not great timing considering the schedule but at least it sounds like its not for a super extended time.

Yeah...  It's not great that we're missing JB and Smart at the same time, but at least there's a week off for the break.  That would typically be 3 or 4 games.

Hopefully Joe takes it really easy on JT during the ASG.
