The Boston Celtics still have not broken out of the worst slump of the season, and things will not be getting easier against the Charlotte Hornets. We have seen that the Celtics are not going to walk all over a team like the Hornets with the way they have been playing, and now they will have to do it without Jaylen Brown. (Via ESPN)
Brown was seen after the Christmas day loss walking with a crutch, and it appears there are issues that are keeping him on the sideline. The Celtics will always take the cautious route, and they will never put Brown at additional risk, even if they desperately need to come back with a win.
