Less than 24 hours after dropping a season-high 41 points against the Pelicans, Celtics wing Jaylen Brown is set to miss a stretch of games.
Brown was ruled out of Thursday’s road game against the Nets with a right adductor strain, with Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla adding that Brown could miss “a week or two”.
Mazzulla added that Brown initially tried to take part in warmups ahead of Thursday’s bout in Brooklyn, but was ruled out shortly before taking the court.
“I’m not sure what the timeline is,” Mazzulla said of Brown. “I know he tried to give it a go today and wasn’t able to do it.
