Jaylen Brown out Wednesday, ruled ‘day-to-day’
Late in Sunday’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum left the game after I hope Tatum and Brown are ok, what a terrible night. https://t.co/UBVkih4C9l
According to Stevens, Brown will not play in the team’s game in Orlando Wednesday night, and his status is ‘day-to-day’ as he works his way back from a sprained ankle. Of course that’s not ideal, but not as bad as some assumed it would be when he walked off the floor against Portland.
As for Tatum, he ‘went through a full practice’ #NEBHInjuryReport update: Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker both went through full practice today. Jaylen Brown (sprained ankle) did not practice and will not play tomorrow, but is “very much day-to-day after that,” according to Coach Stevens.
The Celtics have just seven games remaining in the regular season, and are currently jockeying for position in the Eastern Conference standings. At 34-31, they sit in seventh place, one game behind the Heat (who they play two more times) for sixth. In order to avoid the play-in tournament, the C’s need to finish in sixth place or better.
