Jaylen Brown’s playoff performance mirrored last season’s, averaging 22.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, though he lacked efficiency and explosiveness due to a partially torn meniscus, as reported by Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. He played through significant knee pain, receiving injections since March, and while he excelled in crucial games, he may require surgery, with recovery expected by training camp. The Celtics face tough offseason decisions regarding payroll and potential trades, especially with Jayson Tatum’s injury, raising speculation about Brown’s future in Boston.
