If I had to power rank the worst times of the season to be injured, “right before the playoffs start” would be second behind “during the playoffs.” Unfortunately, we have reached the former, and Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is still battling the lingering knee injury that has plagued him for a large part of this season.
There’s no getting around it: JB hasn’t looked his sharpest over the last month or so. He’s averaging 18.6 points per game, about four less than his season average of 22.4, and has NOT shot the ball well. He’s converted on just 43.
