The Celtics will be shorthanded for the third straight game on Tuesday night, but they will have Jaylen Brown available for their Game 5 matchup against the Magic. Boston upgraded the All-Star wing from questionable to available about an hour before tip. Brown continues to deal with a right knee posterior impingement issue that has kept him on the injury report for the past three games. Jrue Holiday (strained hamstring) remains out for the third straight game.
Brown has been hampered by a bone bruise in his knee since March that has forced him to miss a handful of games to end the season.
