• Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Nursing right shoulder injury

  9H ago • By RotoWire

  Brown (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against Minnesota, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Brown played 25 minutes and tallied 12 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one steal during the Celtics' 125-71 blowout victory over the Raptors on Tuesday. The All-NBA guard was seen icing his right shoulder after the third quarter in that game, and it appears the issue is serious enough for him to be in jeopardy of being sidelined Thursday, per John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com. Brown's absence would lead to an increased workload for Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard and Jordan Walsh.

• Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Dominates on both ends in rout

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown logged 44 points (16-24 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 142-105 victory over the Pacers. Brown torched the Pacers on Friday, delivering a season-high 44 points to lead all scorers in the blowout victory and falling just one three-pointer shy of his season-high mark set during a Nov. 24 win over Minnesota. He also matched his season high with four steals, which was established during the Oct. 24 win over Washington. The 28-year-old star wing is putting together a strong month of December, averaging 24.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.2 three-pointers through 11 games this month. If star big man Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) remains sidelined for Sunday's rematch with Indiana, fantasy managers can expect Brown to handle an elevated level of usage on offense once again.

• Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Solid two-way effort Wednesday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown closed Wednesday's 118-114 loss to Philadelphia with 23 points (10-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 43 minutes. It was a solid effort on both ends of the floor by Brown, who has now reached double digits in scoring during each of his 25 appearances for the Celtics this season. Since the calendar turned to December, Brown has averaged 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.8 three-pointers through his last 10 outings. Although the 28-year-old star forward is shooting a career-low 44.4 percent from the floor and 32.2 percent from downtown on the campaign as a whole, he's compensated for those shortcomings a bit with his defense and playmaking in the form of a career-high 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
