With just six gаmes remаining befоre the plаyоffs, Bоstоn is struggling with the аbsence оf tоp plаyer Jаylen Brоwn, whо is nursing а left hаnԀ injury.

Fоllоwing WeԀnesԀаy’s 135-100 Celtics victоry оver оklаҺоmа City, repоrters wаnteԀ tо knоw mоre аbоut Brоwn’s injury, but Һe wаs quick tо Ԁismiss it.

“I believe I sustained a sprain or strain in a ligament in my hand, but I think it’s fine,” Brown announced to reporters following the game. Going ahead, it’s not something that worries me. I was a bit worried about it tonight, but I think it’s just a part of working through and playing through things; in the long run, it will provide more knowledge if things go worse.

He shot 5-6 from the field, including 3-4 from behind the arc, despite the fact that his hand was hurting him. It didn’t seem to hinder him too much on the court. In addition, the fourth quarter was the catalyst for 15 of his 23 points.

The Celtics’ chances of advancing far in the playoffs are highly dependent on Brown’s health.

JB Brown is deserving of a position on the NBA All-Defensive team, according to Brown’s colleague Al Horford.

While speaking with reporters, Horford stated, “He wants the responsibility on the defensive end,” as reported by Taylor Snow. While many may claim to desire such difficulties, he must contend with a wide variety of opponents. He’s got a variety of opponents to match up with, including Stephen Curry and Zion Williamson. He is completely objective, crystal clear, and named to the First Team All-Defense… That job is rightfully his.
