Jaylen Brown shares an update on his back

Despite remaining sidelined for Friday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Celtics forward Jaylen Brown says he’s feeling “better” and “taking things day-by-day” in his recovery from a lower back bruise.

“I don’t think it compares to some of the injuries I’ve had before,” Brown told reporters at TD Garden. “I don’t think it’s that bad, so I should be looking to get back on the court soon.”

Brown suffered a scary fall against the Dallas Mavericks Nov. 24 and did not play in Boston’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans Monday. The 22-year-old revealed Friday he has also been suffering from back spasms, but they’ve “loosened up in the past two or so days.
