Stevens: Jaylen Brown (hamstring) doubtful for Game 2 vs Sixers

Jaylen Brown’s return for Game 2 remains bleak, as Brad Stevens told reporters Wednesday that the second-year wing is doubtful for Thursday’s second round playoff battle with Philadelphia.

#Celtics coach Brad Stevens: Jaylen Brown's injury not serious, but could make it worse if he comes back too early so want to make sure he comes back at right time. Could still play in Game 2 pending tomorrow's tests. Will not do much in practice today.

Brown reportedly said that he’d be back for Game 2 after imploring team doctors to let him play in Game 1.
