Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Ruled out against San Antonio
Rotowire
Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown will miss a second straight game due to right knee soreness. Boston's decision to hold out the forward is likely a precautionary measure, considering he'll have the NBA All-Star break to get some much-needed rest before the team's next game Feb. 20 in Philadelphia. Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard should get bumps in playing time Wednesday due to Brown's absence.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brown continues to deal with right knee swelling, jeopardizing his status against San Antonio. Considering Wednesday is Boston's final contest ahead of the All-Star break, it wouldn't be shocking for the club to exercise caution with the star forward. While Sam Hauser would get a boost in streaming appeal if Brown sits out, Payton Pritchard would also be set for an expanded role off the bench.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Heat, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
After missing Monday's morning shootaround, Brown will sit out against Miami for the first time since Jan. 3 due to right knee swelling. His next chance to return to the lineup comes Wednesday against the Spurs. Sam Hauser appears to be the most likely choice to replace Brown in the starting lineup, but Payton Pritchard is also primed for a more pronounced role in the second unit.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Miami, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown is in danger of missing his first contest since Jan. 3 due to swelling in his right knee. If the star swingman is ruled out, Sam Hauser could see an increased role. Over his last five outings, Brown has averaged 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 34.0 minutes per game.
Brown registered 25 points (9-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes in Thursday's 127-120 loss to the Mavericks.
Brown was the Celtics' leading scorer Thursday in a game that saw head coach Joe Mazulla empty the bench for most of the fourth quarter. He's scored at least 25 points in four of his last six outings, and he has shot 53.8 percent from the field over that span. Brown and the Celtics will look to get back on track in Saturday's pivotal Atlantic Division clash against the Knicks.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Limited by foul trouble
Rotowire
Brown finished Tuesday's 112-105 win over Cleveland with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and six assists over 28 minutes.
As he's done multiple times this season, Brown got off to a hot start, with 12 of his 16 points coming in the first quarter. However, the All-Star guard could not carry that momentum over the next three quarters, mostly because he was in foul trouble for most of the contest. Tuesday broke a five-game streak of 20-plus points for Brown, and he'll look to get back on track in Thursday's NBA Finals rematch against the Mavericks.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Strong performance Friday
Rotowire
Brown provided 28 points (11-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 118-116 victory over the Pelicans.
Brown was impressive on both ends of the court and led the Celtics in scoring in what turned out to be a tougher-than-expected win over a depleted Pelicans roster. Brown, recently named to the 2025 All-Star Game, has been playing well of late. He's scored at least 22 points in five of his last six games, averaging 24.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in that stretch.

Rotowire
Brown finished with 28 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-11 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-100 victory over the Bulls.
The 28-year-old wing has found his rhythm. Brown has popped for at least 20 points in three straight games and six of the last eight, averaging 22.6 points, 6.1 boards, 5.1 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch after struggling to get his shot to fall in the first half of January.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Scoring woes continue
Rotowire
Brown totaled 17 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 117-96 loss to the Lakers.
Brown's numbers continue to trend in the wrong direction. He is averaging 23.0 points per game this season, but he's failed to reach the 20-point plateau in four of his last seven contests. Over that stretch, the star forward is averaging 18.4 points per game while shooting a subpar 40.2 percent from the floor.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Expects to play through ankle issue
Rotowire
Brown said after Wednesday's 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers that he rolled an ankle during the game, but he expects to play Thursday versus the Lakers, Bobby Manning of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Despite getting banged up at some point during Wednesday's contest, Brown played 39 minutes and finished with 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six assists, three steals, two rebounds and one block. Brown's ability to finish out the contest in addition to his postgame comments suggest that his ankle injury isn't anything too worrisome, though it wouldn't be too surprising if the Celtics chose to exercise some caution with the 28-year-old forward by holding him out for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Expect the Celtics to provide a more official word on Brown's status when they release their next injury report a few hours prior to Thursday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Teases triple-double in OT loss
Rotowire
Brown notched a team-high 24 points (9-27 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Saturday's 119-115 overtime loss to Atlanta.
It was the first time Brown had pulled down double-digit boards since Nov. 22, but he still fell just short of his first triple-double of the season and had to settle for his fourth double-double. A shoulder issue cost the 28-year-old forward the first couple games of the new year, but since returning he's been productive despite some shooting woes, averaging 19.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 threes in his last seven appearances.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: All-around performance in win
Rotowire
Brown provided 20 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 121-94 victory over the Magic.
Brown did a little bit of everything in Friday's contest, leading all Celtics players in assists and steals while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points. Brown has recorded at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in seven contests this season while swiping at least three steals on seven occasions.
Brown posted 10 points (4-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 110-97 loss to the Raptors.
Brown's poor shooting from the field resulted in him recording his fewest points of the 2024-25 campaign during Wednesday's loss. The star forward has seen his efficiency decrease significantly this season, as he is shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 32.2 percent from three compared to 49.9 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from three in 2023-24.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Game-high 28 points in loss
Rotowire
Brown chipped in a game-high 28 points (9-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), one rebound, five assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to the Kings.
Although Brown submitted his highest scoring output since a 44-point outburst during the Dec. 27 win over Indiana, his performance wasn't enough to push the Celtics to victory. Through his last six outings, the 28-year-old star forward is averaging 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 threes. Brown is shooting a career-low 32.2 percent from long distance on the campaign as a whole, which is a bit of a surprise given the nature of Boston's loaded roster, but he'll have a prime opportunity to build on Friday's showing in Sunday's favorable matchup at home against the 8-31 Pelicans.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Shooting woes in return Sunday
Rotowire
Brown (shoulder) chipped in 21 points (8-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 105-92 loss to Oklahoma City.
The star swingman returned to action following a two-game absence due to a right shoulder sprain, finishing as Boston's second-leading scorer behind Jayson Tatum (26 points) in the loss. Brown was stellar in the first half of Sunday's contest, during which he scored all 21 of his points while shooting 8-for-12 from the field. However, he shot an abysmal 0-for-7 from the field in the second half, as the Celtics scored just 27 points in the final two quarters. On a more positive note, the 28-year-old was able to handle a full workload Sunday, and barring any setbacks, he should be able to shoulder his usual minutes against the Nuggets on Tuesday.
