Jaylen Brown said his grandmother predicted that the Celtics would play his hometown Atlanta Hawks in the first round in the first round of the playoffs a month ago.
Because of Atlanta’s win over Miami in the play-in game, the Celtics dodged a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat.
“I was like, ‘how do you know?'” Brown said Friday at practice. “She was like, ‘trust me.’ So, I guess you can thank my grandma for that.”
In a more serious revelation, the All-Star guard and Marietta, Georgia native said that he had five stitches removed from his hand.
