Celtics forward Jaylen Brown will miss the rest of the 2020-21 season due to a torn ligament in his left wrist, the team announced Monday.
Brown, 24, is expected to undergo surgery later this week, per Boston.
Brown averaged a career-high 24.7 points per game in 2020-21, his fifth NBA season. He shot 48.4 percent from the field and a 39.7 percent from three as he earned his first career All-Star appearance. Boston selected Brown with the No. 3 pick in the 2016 NBA draft.
The Celtics have struggled for significant stretches of 2020-21 despite Brown's strong play.
