Jaylen Brown Off Injury Report Wont Have Minutes Restriction

Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown has been limited in recent weeks with a right knee injury. Brown has been on in the injury report for weeks with a posterior impingement. Heading into Game 1 of the first round against the Orlando Magic, Brown is off the injury report.

Even better for the Celtics, Brown said he won’t have a minutes’ restrictions for Game 1 either.

Beyond that, the Boston star wasn’t interested in discussing his knee injury, which at times he’s described as a bone bruise.

“I’m not here to talk about my knee, guys,” Brown said. “It is what it is. I’m focused on Orlando.”

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said he anticipates Brown being full-go for the playoffs.

“He looks good,” Mazzulla said. “He was able to do everything, no limitations. He’s been great, physically, mentally, really preparing himself, ready to go. So, (I) love the week that he had.”
