Jaylen Brown may have to sit out tonight when the Celtics host the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden due to a non-COVID related illness.
The team released their updated injury report Saturday afternoon ahead of the matchup and Brown, who's coming off a 40-point performance against the Los Angles Lakers, has been listed as questionable.
#NEBHInjuryReport update:
— Boston Celtics (@celtics) April 17, 2021
Jaylen Brown (illness, non-COVID) - QUESTIONABLE
Evan Fournier (Health & Safety Protocols) - OUT
Robert Williams (left knee soreness) - OUT
While no other information has been made available regarding Brown being under the weather, but he has missed a few games due to knee tendonitis this season. Brown is averaging a career-high 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.4 per game, while shooting a career-high 49.3% from the field, 40% from 3-point range, and even a career-high 75.4% from the free-throw line.
If Brown is not available to play, look to possibly see Romeo Langford fill in, which would mean a second starter won't be able to go, as Robert Williams is out for a second consecutive game with left knee soreness and Evan Fournier still remains in health and safety protocol for a sixth straight outing.
It's also unknown if new signee Jabari Parker will make his debut or not but the Celtics (30-26) and Warriors (28-28) are scheduled to tip-off at 8:30 PM EST on ABC.
*Update as of 7:01 PM, Brown has been downgraded to out per the team's latest injury report.
