Celtics' Jaylen Brown ruled out for Monday vs. Hornets

The Boston Celtics once again will only have one half of the Jays when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.

Jayson Tatum will return after missing Sunday's win over the Washington Wizards, but Jaylen Brown has officially been ruled out due to neck stiffness. It will be his second missed game of the season.

The injury doesn't appear to be anything serious for Brown, who dropped a season-high 36 points in Sunday's 130-121 victory. Boston likely is giving the 26-year-old much-needed rest during a grueling week on the schedule.
