They were talking about it on NBA radio and the feeling is that it's only mild soreness if anything. Basically jaylen wanted to play tonight, but the celtics were kind of just being careful.
They were also saying alot of positive things about jaylen. One note I found interesting was about his negative interviews around the combine. Apparently he showed up in a full suit when most guys came in shorts and a tee shirt. He was carrying a briefcase and made sure to shake everyone's hands in the room. He also was very powerful with his eye contact, and it was his intelligence, not his attitude that scared a few teams.
One of the guys was laughing saying if he is trying to one hand throw down dunk over a big in summer league from the free throw line area at 19, imagine what he will be trying in a game after a few years of nba conditioning closer to his athletic prime.
I want to cuddle with this post. TP.

So basically those executives put off by him are either wimps who crave control or latent racists who equate high IQ and intensity in a black man with "attitude", ugh.
Hooray for Jaylen, Danny, the Celtics, and hooray for us because we are lucky as fans and will get to enjoy rooting for this kid as he masters the game.
