Jaylen Brown has been diagnosed with a partially torn right meniscus, which he has been managing since March, impacting his play during the regular season and playoffs. Despite consistent knee pain, he played through the injury, missing six games in March and finishing the postseason with averages of 22.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game, including a standout performance in Game 5 against the Knicks. Brown’s recovery timeline is uncertain, pending an evaluation this week to determine if surgery is needed, adding complexity to the Celtics’ offseason.
