Jaylen Brown Absent From Shootaround
7 months agoBoston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness), who is listed as questionable, did not attend morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Boston added Brown to the injury report with a non-COVID illness on Wednesday morning, muddying his status for the Atlantic Division showdown with the Sixers. The Celtics may be taking it easy on the 27-year-old two-way superstar, whose availability while under the weather on Wednesday could ultimately come down to pregame warmups. The red-hot Sam Hauser's streaming appeal (56.8% rate from deep in seven games since Nov. 1) may be further bolstered if Brown takes a seat against Philly, but the versatile Al Horford would also be an option to shift to head coach Joe Mazzulla's starting lineup.
