The Celtics were able to pull out a dramatic 108-105 in-season tournament win over the Raptors in Toronto on Friday, but their biggest scare might have come as they were sealing their win.
When the Celtics were inbounding the ball up by three with just over eight seconds remaining, Jaylen Brown slipped and nearly did a split, causing him to come up hobbling. As Brown was down on the court for an extra moment, Boston needed to call a timeout in order to remove him from the game.
Brown believed that the Raptors’ in-season tournament court was to blame for his injury, saying he might have strained his groin on the play.
