CelticsBlog exit interview: the quiet persistence of Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown drew the most cameras of his entire sophomore campaign in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. The most urgent coverage he received fell upon his absence as he rode away for miles on a stationary bike, never to return with a hamstring strain.
Boston pulled away from the Bucks in only a momentary victory while worried eyes darted toward Brown’s status for the 76ers series. The odds seemed long of the Celtics winning, underdogs with or without Brown, on top of all their other injuries. He missed only one game, returned to his double-figure scoring average and punched out Philadelphia in Game 5 with 24 points.
