Jaylen Brown might be injured, but he's also wise enough to know that rushing back is the last thing he - and the Boston Celtics - need.
Don't get me wrong, Brown was just starting to turn things around, driving to the basket often and eschewing his disturbing tendency to shoot the team out of games. But he was clearly still struggling to find a role with the team, playing a new position with a new set of mouths to feed.
Instead of letting the injury, sustained in an avoidable loss to the Dallas Mavericks last week after a hard fall, weigh down on the young player's already-rough start, Jaylen seems to be responding exactly how we'd hope.
