The Celtics will open their season Wednesday night vs. the Knicks, and they will have Brown in the lineup. He was initially listed as questionable after testing positive for COVID-19 last week, but he has cleared protocols and will be available to start. Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart, Grant Williams, and Robert Williams have been announced as the other members of the starting five.
Brown is coming off the best season of his career in 2020-21. He averaged 24.7 points per game to go along with 6.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists, and he also shot a career-best 48.
