The Celtics listed Jaylen Brown as doubtful for Thursday’s matchup against the Wizards on their latest injury report, citing a non-COVID illness.
Brown has played in all 21 of the Celtics’ games so far this season. He scored a season-high 42 points against the Knicks on Tuesday night.
If he winds up missing the Washington game, it will be the first time these young Celtics will play without Brown this season. Jordan Walsh, Josh Minott, Baylor Scheierman, and Hugo Gonzalez have been competing for minutes on the wings.
This could be a chance to get an extended look at them.
