After Friday night’s Celtics’ win over the Pistons, Jaylen Brown told NBC Sport Boston’s Abby Chin he has been observing Ramadan.
That means that since March 10th, Brown has fasted each day dawn to dusk, and will continue to do so until Ramadan ends on April 9th. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.
“It’s an amazing time of the year. It’s a bunch of people all over the world who participate, and I’m just one of those people who just kind of falls in line,” Brown said.
