Celtics guard Jaylen Brown was injured last night once morest Atlanta. An ankle injury that might be a concern for Boston for the next games.
The tile… As he attacked the circle, passing between Clint Capela and De’Andre Hunter, Jaylen Brown went down. The cry at the time of the events left little doubt as to the pain felt by the Celtics player, who remained on the ground for long seconds. The images of the replay are not long in coming out and they do not make you want: we can clearly see the Jay Brother’s ankle spinning badly and we feel bad for him. After a few moments with the doctors, the player will finally get up to return to the locker room. The good news is that he didn’t need any assistance to walk, the bad news is that he didn’t come back into play. After the game, Ime Udoka gave some additional information for NBC Sports Boston. According to the Celtics coach, Jaylen was ready to try to return to the game but the franchise opted for caution in order not to take any risks in relation to the end of the season which is approaching.

We really cross our fingers for a scenario in more fear than harm mode but we will have to observe the evolution of this ankle. According to the commentators of the match, it is also the same ankle which had already hindered the rear last year. Will Brown be rested for a few games? We saw this season that there was a real difference when Boston was not complete. Since the return of all the troops, the Celtic city has once more become an opponent feared by all, in particular because of its unbreathable defense. The Hawks were also able to test it in the second half last night. Just look at the balance sheet of the greens since the beginning of January: 20 wins for 8 defeats. They even remain on 14 successes in 17 games. If Jaylen Brown were to miss one or more meetings, we can expect to see Derrick White come to replace the Jay Brother. Last night, he was very good on both sides of the field (18 points and 5 assists). This twist of fate will also be a good test to see the strength and depth of this group, especially as some big games are coming up. Over the next fortnight, Boston will play the Grizzlies, the Nets (Kyrie Irving at the Garden, we know what it can give), the Warriors but also the Mavs.
Jaylen Brown was injured last night and all of Boston is crossing its fingers for a minor sore and a short absence. We just have to wait for the test results.
