Good news, Celtics CEO Stevens shares positive news about Jaylen Brown’s knee injury

Celtics Jaylen Brown learned of an inspiring injury update from Brad Stevens.

The Boston Celtics lost to the New York Knicks 81-119 in Game 6 and missed the NBA playoffs. Injuries are a big problem for the Boston Celtics, and Jaylen Brown has been suffering from knee injuries since the second half of the regular season. In addition, Jason Tatum's Achilles tendon tear also made the team worse.

Celtics executive Brad Stevens has at least provided some good news about Brown's form. While being eliminated in the playoffs is not an ideal result, according to Mass Live’s Souichi Teaeda , Stevens believes the extra time should help Brown and the rest of the team recover from injuries before the start of next season.

"Jeren is eager to play, Jaylen is a Warrior and he is very proud to be there," Stevens said. "At the same time, he obviously went to see the doctors on our team and a few others, and as he said a few weeks ago, his knee structure was in good shape."

"So I think he was on the court with confidence. Hopefully he would feel better after a few weeks of rest. Unfortunately, our game ended in mid-May, but for some players with scars, bruises and other injuries, it would be good to have a break."

People had worried that Jaylen Brown would need surgery after a partial tear on his right knee meniscus. However, the 28-year-old defender played in March with an injury. Brown was obviously in poor form in the late regular season, especially in the playoffs.

His explosiveness and resilience to the rim have disappeared, and we often see him opting for a jump shot throughout the playoffs. Recovering health is a priority for Jaylen Brown and the Celtics. But as Tatum is likely to miss the entire 2025-26 season, Brown's future in Boston is somewhat unclear.

Rumored that the Celtics might choose to trade Jaylen Brown. But since the offseason has not officially begun, everything has not been confirmed yet. The 2024 NBA Finals MVP winner averaged 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 46.3%. The three-point shooting percentage is 32.4%.
