Brown (hamstring/knee) won't play Wednesday versus the Rockets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Brown will hit the sidelines for the second leg of a back-to-back due to a sore right knee and tightness in his left hamstring, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Heat. Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez should see a bump in minutes with Brown unavailable, while Derrick White and Payton Pritchard will be tasked with the heavy lifting on offense.

Rotowire
Brown is doubtful for Wednesday's game in Houston due to left hamstring tightness and right knee soreness, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
The Celtics are playing the second game of a back-to-back set, and Brown is dealing with ailments in two of his appendages, so he'll likely skip Wednesday's game. With Brown likely watching from the sidelines, there will be more minutes available for Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez, and guys like Payton Pritchard and Derrick White will be asked to step it up on offense.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Sitting out Friday
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring/knee) will not play Friday against the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brown was listed as doubtful heading into the day while he manages left hamstring tightness and a right knee contusion, so his absence Friday is fully expected. The Celtics haven't indicated that either injury is a major concern for Brown, but his status will still need to be monitored leading up to Sunday's game against the Bucks. His absence Friday should open up elevated minutes for Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman, while Derrick White, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons could see increased usage.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Struggles in loss to Atlanta
Rotowire
Brown recorded 21 points (9-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 loss to the Hawks.
The Celtics struggled to generate much offense and had a rough night from three-point territory, shooting 9-for-34 from beyond the arc. Brown didn't get a single three-pointer to fall in his 29 minutes of floor time, and per Jay King of The Athletic, he acknowledged after the game that he didn't play to his standards. It was an off night for the four-time All-Star, but managers can anticipate a bounce-back performance Friday with a favorable matchup against the Kings.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Probable for Saturday
Rotowire
Brown is probable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to left hamstring tightness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
The probable tag suggests Brown should suit up, but it wouldn't be shocking if he doesn't or if he has some kind of minutes restriction after playing 46 minutes against the Nets on Friday. Not having Brown would be a huge blow for the Celtics, as the star forward is having a career-best season in 2025-26 while posting averages of 30.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.5 steals per game in January alone.
