Jaylen Brown Fully Cleared, Set To Lead Celtics In Season Opener
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hamstring) practiced fully on Monday and is on track to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown dealt with minor hamstring tightness during the preseason, but his participation without restrictions signals that the team is confident in his health. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) expected to miss most of the season, Brown should operate as Boston's primary offensive option to open the year. He already carried a strong 28.9% usage rate last season and averaged 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, and those numbers could rise early on with increased scoring volume and ball-handling responsibilities. Fantasy managers should view Brown as a high-end option in all formats this week, with a strong chance to deliver elite production while Tatum is sidelined.
