Encouragement: Celtics star to miss third consecutive game due to injury.
Every game Jaylen Brown misses will raise concerns because the Boston Celtics star has been dealing with a left hip flexor ailment since training camp.
The Celtics have ruled Brown out of Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden, meaning he will miss his third consecutive game.
Although Celtics supporters may be concerned about Brown, head
There are no indications that coach Joe Mazzulla is concerned.
“I’m not worried,” Mazzulla stated on Tuesday on “Zolak and Bertrand” on 98.5 The Sports Hub, as MassLive’s Souichi Terada transcribed. He lives day-to-day. It’s a strain. Every day, he puts in a lot of effort in his treatment and is merely trying to go back at it. I’m not worried, and I don’t believe he is.
Brown recently informed Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe that he underwent an MRI on the injured area during training camp and will shortly receive a second one.
In addition to being unable to get his legs under him, Brown felt that the injury affected his explosion and burst. That has been a factor in Brown’s difficulties making 3-pointers. In his last 21 efforts, he missed 20 of them from beyond the arc.
In addition to being less effective with his shots—he has shot 40% from the field through six games, down from 49.9% the previous season—Brown appeared to be his typical self. He is recording career-high averages of 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.
