The Boston Celtics have ruled out Jaylen Brown for Tuesday’s game due to a left hip flexor strain. Nike’s controversial figure also missed games against the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks. He has been dealing with this injury since training camp, and now he’ll miss another important game on Wednesday.
Jaylen Brown, who has been averaging 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists this season, will miss his third straight game due to a left hip flexor strain. The Celtics confirmed his absence for Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors on their official Twitter account.
Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla expressed confidence in Brown’s recovery, stating, “He’s doing well. It’s a strain, and he’s working really hard in treatment every day and just kind of working to get back at it. So, not concerned, and I don’t think he is either.”
