After scoring 31 points in the Celtics’ win against the Suns Friday night, Jaylen Brown stopped to chat with Paul Pierce.
The Celtics legend was at TD Garden watching the game with his daughter Prianna and legendary Red Sox slugger David Ortiz. Seeing Pierce at the game was a coincidence, Brown said, because he has been studying Pierce’s game recently.
Brown has been dealing with knee soreness, which has made it tougher to rely on just his athleticism to make plays. He’s been experimenting with a slower, more deliberate play style as he navigates the injury that forced him to be on a minutes restriction.
