Brown finished with 19 points (3-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 12-16 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 win over the Cavaliers.

Sunday marked Brown's first triple-double of the year and the fourth of his career. The star forward is thriving as Boston's top scoring option in the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) so far in 2025-26, returning early-round fantasy value in all formats. Over his last 14 contests, Brown has averaged 28.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.4 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.

Brown posted 41 points (17-32 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists, six rebounds, five steals and one block across 39 minutes in Saturday's 119-115 loss to Minnesota.

Brown dueled with Anthony Edwards (39 points) and led all players in points, though the former was unable to take home the win. Brown tied his season high in points but also made his presence felt across the stat sheet. The star forward dished out a team high in assists and grabbed more than two steals for the first time this season, securing a career-high mark in swipes. Additionally, he has now scored at least 26 points in six consecutive contests.

Brown (back) is available for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown was initially tagged as questionable due to low back spasms, but the All-Star guard has been officially cleared to play in the first leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set Saturday. Across 12 games since Nov. 1, Brown has averaged 28.4 points on 47.3 percent shooting (including 25.0 percent from three on 5.3 3PA/G), 6.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.2 steals over 32.5 minutes per game.

Brown is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to low back spasms, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

The Celtics are listing Brown as questionable for the opening half of a back-to-back set. The star forward, who has taken on a larger role this season, has yet to miss a game. He's averaging 28.2 points on 21.4 shot attempts per game.

Brown recorded 35 points (14-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 138-129 victory over Orlando.

Brown had his way on the offensive end Sunday night, drilling 53.8 percent of his attempts from the field while leading the team in points and setting a season high in assists on the way to a win. He's been a force as a scorer over his last four matchups, averaging 30.8 points during this hot stretch.

Brown recorded 26 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 113-105 loss to Brooklyn.

Brown struggled with foul trouble in this one, which seemed to mess with his rhythm, and he finished with a plus/minus rating of minus-four in the eight-point loss. Payton Pritchard finished with a team-worst plus/minus rating of minus-13 and ended his evening with 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one turnover.

Brown recorded 29 points (9-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 win over Brooklyn.

Brown was again Boston's leading scorer, as he powered the Celtics to their third straight win, but he also committed an unfortunate eight turnovers while he was out there. Brown is committing a career-high 3.5 turnovers per game this season, as he's struggling to adjust to the increased ball-handling responsibilities without Jayson Tatum (Achilles).

Brown closed with 33 points (14-33 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 121-118 win over the Clippers.

The 29-year-old forward led the Celtics in scoring on the afternoon, hitting for 30-plus points for the fourth time in the last seven games while recording his first double-double of 2025-26. Brown is headed for a career-best campaign as he combines increased usage in the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) with increased efficiency, and through 14 contests he's averaging 27.4 points, 5.6 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.9 threes and 0.8 steals.

Brown chipped in 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 131-95 win over the Grizzlies.

Brown logged the fewest minutes he's been in a game since Nov. 1, which is likely due to the blowout nature of the contest. The star forward is averaging 27.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.0 threes made this season.

Brown logged 27 points (10-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 111-107 win over Orlando.

Brown wasn't particularly efficient in the win but still led Boston in scoring. After recording just 12 points in a Nov. 1 loss to the Rockets, the star forward has scored at least 27 in four straight games. However, the 29-year-old has struggled from beyond the arc during that span, shooting just 4-for-23 from downtown. Still, he's expected to continue seeing heavy usage as the Celtics' clear top option.

Brown logged 32 points (15-28 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals over 36 minutes during the Celtics' 123-110 loss to the Magic on Sunday.

Brown's recent struggles from three-point range continued Friday, but the All-Star wing still shot over 50 percent from the field en route to his third-straight 30-plus point game (and sixth over his last eight outings). He scored 16 of his 32 points in the third quarter, though he faded in the fourth frame with just two points while going 1-for-5 from the field. Brown has opened the regular season averaging 28.1 points on 53.5 percent shooting,4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 0.9 steals over 31.7 minutes per game.

Brown generated 35 points (13-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes of Wednesday's 136-107 win over Washington.

Brown had his fourth 30-point outing in his last five games, and his fifth of the campaign. He had played at least 32 minutes in all of his other 30-point games. On the year, Brown is shooting a blistering 53.5 percent from the field on 19.1 attempts per game, and he's averaging 27.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per contest.

Brown registered 36 points (13-28 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 10-11 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 105-103 loss to Utah.

Brown did everything in his power to carry his team to a victory, but it wasn't quite enough as the Jazz hit a shot at the buzzer to steal a victory. The star forward easily led his team in scoring despite failing to connect on a single attempt from beyond the arc. Brown has put up 30 or more points in three of his last four appearances, and it's also worth mentioning that he's racked up five steals over this stretch, adding a bit of production on the opposite end of the court.

Brown racked up 32 points (13-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and five turnovers in 32 minutes during Friday's 109-108 victory over the 76ers.

Brown was hot from the jump in this one, as he dropped in 16 of his 32 points over a five-minute stretch in the first quarter, and he got whatever he wanted all game long. After a 0-3 start to the season for Boston, they've now rallied off three straight wins to bring their record back to .500. They'll look to keep it going Saturday against the Rockets.

Brown generated 30 points (12-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assist, one steal and one block across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 125-105 win over Cleveland.

Brown, with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined, has thrived in his new lead role. He's averaging 26.8 points per game on 52/47/76 shooting splits, and he's averaging 18 field goal attempts per contest. While he hasn't been a double-double threat, Brown has been able to chip in with rebounds and assists, making him an even more valuable fantasy asset.

Brown (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavs, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown was being listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there, so feel free to fire him up in your lineup. Brown saw just 24 minutes of action Monday with the game turning into a blowout, but he should return to the 30s on Wednesday, as long as the Celtics can keep the game close.

Brown (hamstring) has been listed as probable to play in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown continues to deal with a hamstring issue, but that likely won't keep him off the floor. He's coming off a subpar performance by his standards, finishing with 15 points, seven rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes. He played limited minutes due to Boston crushing New Orleans on Monday, pulling off the 32-point blowout on the road.

Brown (injury management) will play in Monday's game against the Pelicans, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown was iffy to play Monday as a precaution after recently dealing with a left hamstring injury but will ultimately take the floor. The star wing is off to a scorching start to the season, coming off a 41-point showing Sunday against the Pistons.

Brown (injury management) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Brown produced 41 points (12-25 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 12-15 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 loss to the Pistons, but he just recently recovered from a hamstring issue. Therefore, the Celtics may hold him out as a precaution. If that's the case, guys like Josh Minott, Hugo Gonzales and Sam Hauser could see increased workloads for the Celtics.

Brown accumulated 41 points (12-25 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 12-15 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 loss to the Pistons.

Despite the fact that he came into the afternoon contest nursing a hamstring issue, Brown produced his first 40-point performance since he went off for 44 against the Pacers in late December last season. The Celtics' offseason talent exodus has left the 29-year-old forward as something of a one-man show to begin 2025-26, and Brown has responded by averaging 29.7 points, 5.3 boards, 3.7 assists and 3.3 threes through three games.

Brown (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Brown's availability for Sunday's game was in question due to a left hamstring issue, but the star wing will ultimately suit up against the Pistons. He's averaging 24.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists through two games to open the season as the primary scoring option in Jayson Tatum's (Achilles) absence.

Brown is questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit due to left hamstring strain reconditioning, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Brown sustained the strained left hamstring in Boston's preseason finale and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's season-opening loss to the 76ers. However, the star forward has yet to miss a game and is averaging 24.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 36.0 minutes per game through two regular-season appearances. If he's ultimately ruled out for Sunday's contest, Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Brown registered 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during the Celtics' 105-95 loss to the Knicks on Friday.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring for a second consecutive game while connecting on three triples, though he also coughed up the ball a game-high seven times. The four-time All-Star has logged 18 field-goal attempts in each of the first two games of the regular season, and he is expected to operate as the Celtics' top offensive option while Jayson Tatum recovers from an right Achilles tear that he suffered in May.

Brown tallied 25 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two turnovers in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 season-opening loss to the 76ers.

Brown didn't show any signs of a hamstring issue while he was out there, so hopefully, that injury is behind him. He's going to be operating with a heavy usage this season with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) watching from the sidelines, so he should be in for a career year as the main man in Boston.

Brown (hamstring) will play in Wednesday's season opener against the 76ers, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown is ready to play through a hamstring injury Wednesday. The star forward shouldn't have any restrictions in the season opener.

Brown (hamstring) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown, who tweaked his hamstring during an exhibition game on Oct. 15, was able to get through full practices Monday and Tuesday. While he's still "questionable" on the injury report, he has been trending in a positive direction, but we won't get official word on his status until just before tip-off. If he does need to hit the sidelines, that would be a boon to Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Anfernee Simons and Sam Hauser.

Brown (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the 76ers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Despite participating in practice the last two days, Brown may not take the floor. If the perennial All-Star is ruled out, the team will likely pivot to Sam Hauser (rest), Josh Minott and Baylor Scheierman to shoulder the load.

Brown (hamstring) participated in Tuesday's practice, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

This was Brown's second consecutive full practice for Boston. The team remains optimistic about his chances of playing Opening Night against the 76ers on Wednesday, and further clarity will be known once the team releases their official injury report Tuesday evening.

Brown (hamstring) was a full go at practice Monday, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Brown continues to progress and seems to have put this hamstring issue behind him. Brown will be good to go for Opening Night and there's no word of any restrictions.

Brown (hamstring) was able to participate in most of Friday's practice, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

According to coach Joe Mazulla, Brown did everything but the live portions of practice. Brown remains day-to-day, but it sounds like he's on track for Opening Night.

Brown (hamstring) left Wednesday's 110-108 preseason win over the Raptors and did not return.

Brown departed the contest after grabbing at his left hamstring and was considered doubtful to return due to left hamstring tightness. He didn't reenter the game, finishing the win with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across seven minutes. Boston doesn't have another preseason game left, so his next chance to play will come Oct. 22 against Philadelphia -- the Celtics' regular-season opener.

Brown (hamstring) is doubtful to return to Wednesday's preseason game against the Raptors.

Brown exited Wednesday's game after grabbing his left hamstring and is unlikely to return due to tightness. With the matchup against the Raptors marking the Celtics' final preseason contest, his status for the Oct. 22 regular-season opener against the 76ers will be something to monitor closely.

Brown may have suffered a left hamstring injury as he asked out of Wednesday's preseason game against the Raptors and has headed to the locker room, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown appeared to grab his left hamstring while asking to be removed from the game. It's uncertain how severe the injury is, but his night might be over, as hamstring injuries are not to be taken lightly.

Brown (rest) is part of the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against Cleveland.

After missing Boston's previous preseason game for rest purposes, Brown returns to the starting lineup Sunday. The 29-year-old will be flanked by Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Sam Hauser and Chris Boucher.

Brown (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

After dropping 21 points in 20 minutes during Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Brown will get the day off Friday for rest purposes. It's uncertain what Brown's status will be for the final two preseason games.

Brown tallied 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and one rebound across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 121-103 preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Brown matched Jaylen Wells with a game-high point total during this blowout win on the road. Brown is still working his way back from offseason knee surgery, but this preseason performance is a good sign that he's back to form ahead of the start of the regular season on Oct. 22 against the 76ers.

Brown (knee) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason opener versus the Grizzlies, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee back in June, but he said at Media Day on September 30 that he was "feeling great" and ramping up his workload. It's safe to say he's fully recovered, considering he's suiting up for an exhibition game. He'll be an exciting player to roster this upcoming season, as the main man in Boston.

Brown (knee) said at Media Day on Monday that he's ramping up well ahead of training camp.

"I feel great," Brown said. "My athleticism is back. I'm running. I'm a little lighter. I feel awesome, I feel ready." Brown underwent a successful right knee arthroscopic debridement procedure back in June, and while he's likely not 100 percent yet, it seems likely he'll be a full go for Opening Night. The Celtics tend to be cautious, so Brown could have some restrictions early on in camp.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

As expected, Brown will miss Sunday's regular-season finale as he continues to work through a right knee posterior impingement. He received pain management injections in his right knee this past week, and the expectation is that the reigning NBA Finals MVP should be available for the first round of the postseason. Brown will finish the 2024-25 regular season averaging 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.3 minutes per game across 63 starts.

Brown received pain management injections in his right knee this week and is expected to be ready for the start of the playoffs, Bobby Manning of Celtics on CLNS reports.

Brown has sat out Boston's previous two contests due to a right knee posterior impingement and could sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against Charlotte. Brown cannot meet the 65-game requirement to be eligible for All-NBA awards, and the Celtics are locked into the second seed in the Eastern Conference, so there is no real incentive for him to play Sunday. However, the star forward should be able to suit up for the team's first-round matchup in the playoffs.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

The Celtics have two games left in the regular season, and it appears the defending NBA champion will continue managing their stars cautiously, with Brown set to miss Friday's game. However, the rest of Boston's notable players have been cleared to play. Sam Hauser will likely see a boost in minutes with Brown sitting out.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Orlando, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown has played just 22 minutes in each of the Celtics' last two games while managing a right knee injury. With Boston locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, Brown will join Jayson Tatum (ankle), Derrick White (ankle), Jrue Holiday (shoulder), Kristaps Porzingis (rest) and Al Hoford (knee) on the bench. Brown's next chance to play is Friday against Charlotte.

Brown (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown played just 22 minutes Tuesday against the Knicks, finishing with six points, five rebounds and one assist. He could be held out for maintenance, however, but the Celtics will be extremely shorthanded either way -- Derrick White (ankle), Jayson Tatum (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (rest), Al Horford (knee) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) are all being held out.

Brown (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown was initially listed as questionable, but he'll suit up Tuesday as the Celtics will play a very strong lineup against New York in a battle of playoff teams. Brown has appeared in four of the Celtics' last five games, putting up 21.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.

Brown (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown is in jeopardy of missing his first game in April due to a lingering right knee injury. If the star swingman is unable to suit up against New York, Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman are candidates to receive an uptick in playing time. Brown has appeared in four of the club's last five outings, during which he has averaged 21.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers across 27.3 minutes per contest.

Brown (knee) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Wizards,Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown is coming off a 31-point performance in Friday's win against the Suns.

Brown (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Brown scored 31 points against the Suns on Friday, but he might not be able to play Sunday against the Wizards due to a knee issue. The Celtics will likely turn to Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman to shoulder the load if the reigning NBA Finals MVP is unable to play.

Brown posted 31 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 123-103 win over Phoenix.

Brown's numbers in recent weeks have been utterly disappointing, as he's failed to reach the 15-point mark in four of his previous seven contests while navigating a knee issue. However, he delivered an impressive bounce-back performance in this game, and the Celtics need their star forward to gain some steam with the playoffs right around the corner. Brown is an integral part of what the Celtics do on both ends of the court, and Boston needs him at his best to have a shot at winning the NBA title for the second season in a row.

Brown (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Suns, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with a right knee posterior impingement. Brown has struggled with his outside shot as of late, converting just 28.6 percent of his 4.9 three-point attempts per contest.

Brown (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

The 28-year-old wing led the Celtics in scoring after sitting out Monday's contest due to a sore knee. Brown missed six of 15 games in March and averaged just 18.0 points, 5.0 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.3 threes and 0.7 blocks on the month, and Boston will likely continue to give him plenty of rest ahead of the playoffs with the team all but locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Brown (knee) has been cleared to play Wednesday's game against the Heat, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Brown will return to the floor for the Celtics on Wednesday against Miami after missing Monday's win against the Grizzlies.

Brown (knee) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat,Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Memphis, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown will miss his sixth game in March due to a right knee injury, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday against Miami. Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman are candidates for a bump in minutes due to Brown being sidelined.

Brown is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to right knee posterior impingement, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown has appeared in the last three games after missing three contests due to a right knee issue that now has his status for Monday in the air. If he is unable to go, Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman are candidates for increased minutes.

Brown closed with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 113-95 win over Sacramento.

Following a three-game absence due to a bone bruise in his right knee, Brown returned to action Monday and was eased back into things. Jayson Tatum picked up an ankle injury in this contest, however, meaning Brown could see a bump in usage going forward. Brown may see some maintenance days in the final weeks, however, as the Celtics are sitting comfortably in second place in the Eastern Conference.

Brown (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Kings.

Brown will return to the hardwood Monday following a three-game absence due to bone bruise in his right knee. The Celtics have yet to comment on whether he'll face a minute restriction in his first game back.

Brown (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown has missed three straight and four of his last five games. He scored only eight points in 24 minutes during his lone appearance during that stretch. If cleared to play Monday, Brown may face some limitations.

Brown is ruled out for Friday's game due to right knee posterior impingement, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown has missed two out of the last three games and left Boston's matchup with Brooklyn on Mar. 15 early due to back spasms. Sam Hauser will likely remain in the Celtics' starting lineup until Brown returns.

Brown (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Brown left Saturday's win over the Nets early due to back spasms and will miss at least one additional contest. Previously, Brown was dealing with a right posterior knee impingement, but he's no longer listed on the report with that injury. Either way, he'll have a few days off before attempting to suit up Friday in Utah, but with the Celtics essentially locked into the No. 2 seed, they'll likely be cautious with Brown down the stretch. Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard are candidates for increased roles in Brown's absence.

Brown is doubtful to return to Saturday's game against the Nets due to low back spasms, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown was replaced by Payton Pritchard at the 6:12 mark of the third quarter of Saturday's game, and it doesn't appear that the former will return. If he's indeed done for the night, he'll finish with eight points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes. Expect Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman to see extended playing time due to Brown's absence.

Brown (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Brown didn't play Friday, but he'll be available for the second leg of a back-to-back set and should handle his regular work, especially due to the absence of Derrick White (knee). Brown is averaging 21.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Nets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Heat, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown will sit out a game for the fifth time since the beginning of February as he's been dealing with right knee posterior impingement. His absence would open the door for the likes of Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard to see more minutes. Brown's next chance to play will come against the Nets on Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Heat, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has been on the Celtics' injury report over the past week due to a right knee injury and is in danger of missing his fifth game since the beginning of February. Brown's absence would open the door for Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser and Baylor Sheierman to see an increased role and playing time Friday. Brown has averaged 23.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.6 steals over 36.2 minutes per game since the All-Star break, though he's shot just 27.1 percent from three on 5.3 3PA/G over that span.

Brown (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown had 26 points (8-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 114-108 victory over the Jazz.

Brown was tasked with leading the Celtics on offense due to the absence of Jayson Tatum (knee), and although Sam Hauser ended up exploding for a career-high 33 points, there's no question Brown posted an outstanding stat line as well. He finished just two boards and three assists away from recording a triple-double, although he would've had even better numbers had he been efficient from three-point range. Brown is averaging 25.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game since the end of the All-Star break.

Brown racked up 31 points (13-25 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three steals in 42 minutes during Saturday's 111-101 victory over the Lakers.

Brown returned after a one-game absence and completed a well-rounded performance against the Lakers. Brown seems to add an extra gear when he plays the Lakers, as his historical data against the team is excellent. Brown and Jayson Tatum combined for 71 points, comprising 63.9 percent off the team's production. His knee injury has resulted in absences during back-to-back sets, but the team won't see another one of those until next weekend.

Brown (knee) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown will return to action Saturday after missing Boston's previous contest due to a right knee posterior impingement. Brown is averaging 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.3 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Brown will not play Thursday against the 76ers due to a right knee posterior impingement, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Brown logged 40 minutes against Portland on Wednesday night despite battling an illness. Therefore, it's not a surprise to see the Celtics exercise caution. Guys like Payton Pritchard and Jordan Walsh could be more involved Thursday, and the same is true for Sam Hauser if he can shake off his questionable tag due to an ankle sprain.

Brown (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown will play through an illness Wednesday, and he should see a significant increase in usage due to the absences of Jayson Tatum (shoulder) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness). Over his past five games, Brown has averaged 25.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 33.5 minutes.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Teammate Kristaps Porzingis has missed three of the Celtics' last four games due to a non-COVID illness, and it appears Brown is working through the same issue. Boston is dealing with a number of injuries to the top of its rotation including Brown, Jayson Tatum (shoulder), Derrick White (back), Payton Pritchard (hip) and Jrue Holiday (finger). These injuries open the door for Sam Hauser, Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh and Torrey Craig to see more minutes , so tracking the Celtics' injury report heading into Wednesday's game is imperative for fantasy players.

Brown racked up 22 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 110-103 victory over Denver.

Brown once again led the way for Boston in Sunday's contest, leading all players in scoring and assists while also recording a team-best pair of steals in a balanced performance. Brown has handed out eight or more dimes in six contests, adding at least 20 points in three of those outings.

Head coach Joe Mazzulla said that Brown (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Brown has missed three of the club's last seven outings due to a left thigh contusion, though he'll shake off a questionable tag Sunday due to right knee pain. Over his last five outings, the star swingman has averaged 23.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.6 minutes per contest. Brown played 34 minutes during Friday's loss to Cleveland, and there is no indication that he will operate under a minutes restriction Sunday.

Brown is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets due to right knee pain, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown has already missed three of Boston's last seven outings and could now miss Sunday's contest due to right knee pain. If Brown is ultimately downgraded to out, Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh could all receive increased playing time.

Brown supplied 37 points (13-24 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 123-116 loss to Cleveland.

Brown returned from a one-game absence due to a thigh problem and did it in style after notching his second-best scoring output of the campaign in a game that could very well be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals later in the year. Brown has scored at least 20 points in every game since the All-Star break and continues to play at a high level for the Celtics as the team's second-best offensive weapon behind Jayson Tatum, who had 46 points Friday. Brown is averaging 26.3 points per game since the All-Star break.

Brown (thigh) is available for Friday's game against Cleveland, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown will shake off a questionable tag due to the left thigh contusion that forced him to miss Wednesday's loss to Detroit. The 28-year-old swingman has averaged 22.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.6 three-pointers across 34.1 minutes per game in his last 10 appearances. Brown has shot 51.8 percent from the field in that 10-game span.

Brown (thigh), who is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland, participated in shootaround Friday, Celtics beat reporter Bobby Krivitsky reports.

Brown missed Wednesday's loss to Detroit due to the thigh injury, though his participation in shootaround bodes well for his status Friday. Sam Hauser and Al Horford are candidates to draw the start if Brown is sidelined. Over his last five outings, the 28-year-old swingman has averaged 21.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 32.4 minutes per contest.

Brown (thigh) is questionable to play in Friday's matchup with Cleveland, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Brown missed Wednesday's game against Detroit due to his thigh injury and is in danger of missing a second consecutive game if he is ruled out for Friday. Sam Hauser would likely start in Brown's place if he is unable to go, with Al Horford likely getting extended playing time as well.

Brown (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

After scoring 25 points in Tuesday's win over the Raptors, Brown will not suit up and play Wednesday in the second game of a back-to-back on the road in Detroit. The veteran star's absence will likely pave the way for more minutes for Sam Hauser, who could be in the starting lineup against the Pistons.

Brown is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit with a left thigh contusion, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown was limited during the second half of Tuesday's win over the Raptors after picking up his thigh injury. With Wednesday being the second leg of a back-to-back set, the Celtics could play it safe and hold him out. If that's the case, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser (back) would be candidates for more run, and possibly Baylor Scheierman and JD Davison.

Brown finished Tuesday's 111-101 win over the Raptors with 24 points (10-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

Brown led both teams in scoring Tuesday and did most of his damage in the second quarter with 11 points, though it appeared he may have tweaked his leg late in the frame, per Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe. Brown was limited to just 12:36 of playing time in the second half, and his injury status will be worth closely monitoring as the Celtics play the second leg of their back-to-back set Wednesday against the Pistons. If Brown is unable to play, expect a larger workload for Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser and even Baylor Scheierman and JD Davison.

Brown racked up 24 points (10-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 118-105 victory over the Knicks.

Brown was limited to just six points through the first half of Sunday's game. He turned things around in the second half, with 11 of his points coming in the fourth quarter to extend the Celtics' lead back up to double digits. Brown has been a steady scoring presence for the Celtics all season, and since the beginning of January he has averaged 20.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.9 minutes per game.

Brown (knee) scored four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with two rebounds across seven minutes for Team Shaq in Sunday's 41-25 win over Team Chuck in the All-Star Game.

Brown missed two straight games due to right knee soreness prior to All-Star Weekend, but his availability Sunday bodes well for his status going forward. Brown should be ready to roll for Thursday's game against the 76ers, resulting in fewer minutes for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser.

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 Wednesday for the Celtics as he deals with right knee inflammation. Boston holding out the star 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 a bump in playing time due to Brown's absence.

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.

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.

Brown (knee) was absent from Monday's morning shootaround, Bobby Manning of CLNS Media reports.

Jayson Tatum (knee) was also absent from shootaround, though both players are still listed as questionable to face the Heat. If Brown and Tatum are held out, there could be a lot of opportunity for guys like Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard.

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.

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 was unable to carry that momentum over the next three quarters, mostly due to the fact that 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.

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, who was 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.

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.

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.

While it'd be an overstatement to say Brown has been struggling in recent weeks, it's also worth mentioning that his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction. Brown 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.

Brown (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

As expected, Brown is set to play Thursday despite dealing with an ankle issue. Brown is averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Brown (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown will return from a two-game absence due to a right shoulder sprain Sunday. Over his last five outings, the star swingman has averaged 29.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.2 steals while shooting 54.5 percent from the field in 35.6 minutes per contest.

Brown (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has missed the Celtics' last two games with a shoulder strain. Sam Hauser has started in Brown's absence and will likely continue to do so if the star forward is unable to play on Sunday in Oklahoma City.

Justin Turpin of WEEI.comBrown (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown will miss a second straight game for the Celtics. Sam Hauser will likely get the start in place of Brown. He's coming off one of his best games as a starter, finishing with 15 points, three rebounds and two assists against Timberwolves. However, these numbers pale in comparison to what Brown brings every night for Boston, as he will be sorely missed against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA.

Brown (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive outing due to a right shoulder strain. The star swingman has been stellar over his last five games, during which he has averaged 29.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.2 steals while shooting 54.5 percent from the field across 35.6 minutes per contest. If Brown is sidelined, Sam Hauser will likely get the starting nod once again.

Brown (shoulder) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Brown suffered his shoulder injury during Tuesday's contest against Toronto and will sit out Thursday. Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Brown's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Houston.

Brown (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against Minnesota, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown played 25 minutes and tallied 12 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one steal during the Celtics' 125-71 blowout victory over the Raptors on Tuesday. The All-NBA guard was seen icing his right shoulder after the third quarter in that game, and it appears the issue is serious enough for him to be in jeopardy of being sidelined Thursday, per John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com. Brown's absence would lead to an increased workload for Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard and Jordan Walsh.

Brown accumulated 31 points (13-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-114 loss to Indiana.

Brown did all he could to help lift Boston over Indiana, leading all Celtics in scoring and assists to pace the squad offensively in a high-scoring defeat. Brown surpassed the 30-point mark for the fifth time this year and for the third time over his last four contests. He has dished out six or more assists in seven outings so far this year.

Brown logged 44 points (16-24 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 142-105 victory over the Pacers.

Brown torched the Pacers on Friday, delivering a season-high 44 points to lead all scorers in the blowout victory and falling just one three-pointer shy of his season-high mark set during a Nov. 24 win over Minnesota. He also matched his season high with four steals, which was established during the Oct. 24 win over Washington. The 28-year-old star wing is putting together a strong month of December, averaging 24.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.2 three-pointers through 11 games this month. If star big man Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) remains sidelined for Sunday's rematch with Indiana, fantasy managers can expect Brown to handle an elevated level of usage on offense once again.

Brown closed Wednesday's 118-114 loss to Philadelphia with 23 points (10-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 43 minutes.

It was solid effort on both ends of the floor by Brown, who has now reached double digits in scoring during each of his 25 appearances for the Celtics this season. Since the calendar turned to December, Brown has averaged 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.8 three-pointers through his last 10 outings. Although the 28-year-old star forward is shooting a career-low 44.4 percent from the floor and 32.2 percent from downtown on the campaign as a whole, he's compensated for those shortcomings a bit with his defense and playmaking in the form of a career-high 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Brown provided 35 points (15-29 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to the Magic.

Brown stepped up in the absence of Jayson Tatum (illness) in Monday's contest, leading all Celtics in scoring and rebounds while posting team-high-tying marks in assists and steals in an all-around showcase. Brown posted his second game of the season with 35 or more points, falling two points short of his season-high 37 points tallied Nov. 12.

Brown totaled 19 points (9-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 123-98 victory over the Bulls.

Jayson Tatum dominated for the Celtics with 43 points, and Brown was one of only two other Boston players (along with Kristaps Porzingis) to even score in double digits. Brown saw his streak of games with at least one three-pointer snapped at 16, however. In eight December appearances, the 28-year-old wing is averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 assists, 4.9 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.4 steals.

Brown provided 11 points (4-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 victory over the Wizards.

Brown had a poor showing offensively, but made up for it on the defensive end. Through six December showings, Brown has posted averages of 21.5 points, 5.3 assists, 5.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 three-pointers, shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Brown contributed 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 victory over the Pistons.

Brown scored his fewest points since Nov. 10 on Thursday but the Celtics were still able to easily cruise to victory. Brown has seen a decrease in his efficiency this season, shooting 44.6 percent from the field compared to 49.9 in 2023-24.

Brown tallied 25 points (10-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one assist over 34 minutes in Friday's 111-105 win over the Bucks.

Brown was the Celtics' second-leading scorer behind Jayson Tatum (34). Brown entered Friday's game shooting a career-low 43.2 percent from the field, but he was particularly efficient from inside the arc, connecting on 7 of 12 two-point attempts. He's scored at least 21 points in four straight games, and on the season Brown is averaging 25.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals over 36.2 minutes per game.

Brown (illness) posted 29 points (8-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.

After missing Sunday's narrow loss to Cleveland with an illness, Brown did all of his damage in just three quarters Monday, sitting out the fourth quarter as Boston nursed a late lead. Brown's game-high 29 points lifted some of the burdens from the shoulders of Jayson Tatum, who fired a season-high 27 field-goal attempts Sunday against the Cavaliers. Over his last 10 games, Brown is averaging 24.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.1 three-pointers in 36.2 minutes per game while shooting a strong 38.2 percent from downtown during this span. Brown had shot just 71.4 percent from the free-throw line in his previous eight games to Monday, but fantasy managers should be very pleased with the star wing's 9-for-10 clip from the foul line in this one.

Brown (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Heat.

Brown was a late scratch against Cleveland on Sunday and was questionable for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set. Over his last nine appearances, Brown has averaged 24.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.8 steals in 36.7 minutes per game. The veteran forward could be in line for increased usage Monday, as Al Horford (rest/toe), Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (rest/knee) and Sam Hauser (personal) are all sidelined.

Brown (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Miami, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown was a late scratch Sunday against Cleveland and it remains to be seen if he can give it a go for the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Brown does manage to suit up, he'd be looking at a ton of usage most likely, as Jayson Tatum (knee) and Derrick White (foot) are questionable, while Kristaps Porzingis (rest), Jrue Holiday (knee) and Al Horford (rest) have already been ruled out.

Brown has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to an illness, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown was a late scratch after not being listed on any of the previous injury reports, and he can be considered questionable, at best, for Monday's game against the Heat. With Derrick White (foot) also out, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser are candidates for major roles against Cleveland.

Brown racked up 29 points (10-18 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 win over Minnesota.

Brown delivered a stellar performance from beyond the arc, hitting five three-pointers in the first quarter alone after shooting only 3-for-13 from deep in Friday's win over the Wizards. The star wing has amassed eight games with 25 or more points through 13 regular-season outings. While Brown was shooting just 28.4 percent from outside prior to Sunday's win, he has since improved his three-point shooting to 32.7 percent on the season.

Brown provided 17 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 victory over Cleveland.

Despite struggling with his shot, Brown was clutch during the fourth quarter as Boston surged for the victory. The veteran wing also led the Celtics with his eight dimes. In what might be an Eastern Conference Finals preview, the Celtics needed top efforts from both Brown and Jayson Tatum to beat the formerly undefeated Cavs. Through 11 games, Brown is averaging what would be a career-high 4.4 assists per contest. After two nights of rest, the 12-3 Celtics will next travel to Washington for a Friday night battle with the Wizards.

Brown posted 24 points (8-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 139-114 win over Brooklyn.

Brown turned in an impressive night on the glass, resulting in his second double-double and his best mark of the young season in rebounds. However, he was less productive shooting the ball, knocking down 42.1 percent of his attempts from the field. Brown's 24 points certainly helped the cause, but it was Jayson Tatum's team-high 36 points that powered Boston to victory, and Payton Pritchard also chipped in 23 points off the bench.

Brown closed with 14 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 113-107 win over the Bucks.

Brown returned to game action after missing the last four consecutive matchups due to a left hip strain. The star forward handled his normal workload in the win, though he struggled from the field while lowering his shooting percentage to 39.2 percent on the year. Through seven regular-season appearances, Brown has averaged 24.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals across 36.2 minutes per game.

Brown (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Brown has been upgraded from questionable to available and will make his return to game action after missing four straight contests due to a left hip strain. He may face restrictions, but Brown should slide back into Boston's starting lineup.

Brown (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bucks, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown is in danger of missing his fifth straight contest Sunday due to a left hip strain. However, Brown being initially deemed questionable instead of out is a good sign that he is nearing a return to action.

Brown (hip) won't play in Friday's game versus the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown's absence streak will extend to four games Friday while dealing with a strained left hip. Neemias Queta will likely continue to start until he is able to return. Brown's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Brown (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown will miss a third straight game after tweaking his hip during the third quarter of Friday's win over the Hornets. The Celtics haven't released an official update on the severity of the injury, but given their strong start, they don't need to rush Brown back into action. Boston has mixed and matched their starting lineup in Brown's previous absences, but Payton Pritchard has proven to be the biggest beneficiary despite coming off the bench.

Brown (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown tweaked his hip during the third quarter of Friday's win over the Hornets and was sidelined for Saturday's rematch. He'll remain out Monday, opening up a few more minutes for Jordan Walsh, but the Celtics opted for a big lineup Saturday, starting Al Horford and Luke Kornet while Payton Pritchard played 29 minutes off the bench.

Brown is out for Saturday's game versus the Hornets due to a left hip flexor strain, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown presumably injured his hip during Friday's contest and will miss his first game of the season against Charlotte. In his absence, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser (back) are candidates to receive increased playing time. Brown's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Atlanta.

Brown had 30 points (10-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-14 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 119-108 victory over the Bucks.

Brown shot only 2-for-8 from the field in the first half, though he picked it up in the second and finished as the club's leading scorer. While he had a productive game, the 28-year-old has combined to shoot just 3-for-13 from deep over the last two contests. Brown has began the season with four consecutive outings with 23-plus points, and Boston remains undefeated Monday thanks in part to Brown and Payton Pritchard, with the latter scoring 28 points while hitting eight threes.

Brown had 24 points (6-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Saturday's 124-118 win over the Pistons.

Brown's final stat line was impressive, finishing as the Celtics' second-highest scorer while leading the team in rebounds and assists. However, the lack of efficiency could be worrisome for owners playing in category-based leagues. Through three outings. Brown is shooting a mere 37 percent from the field.

Brown totaled 27 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 win over the Wizards.

Brown finished just two boards away from a double-double and filled the stat sheet admirably with an excellent overall performance in only 30 minutes. Brown has surpassed the 20-point mark in his first two outings of the campaign and his role as the Celtics' second go-to player on offense behind Jayson Tatum is set in stone, making him a valuable commodity in fantasy regardless of the format.

Brown posted 23 points (7-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 win over the Knicks.

The Celtics shot an incredible 47.5 percent as a team from three-point range, and Brown was one of three Boston starters to drain at least five treys on the night. Last season, the 27-year-old forward saw his numbers take a small step back from 2022-23 as the scoring load was spread around a little more, and the defending champs have no reason to change that approach. Even so, Brown has averaged at least 23.0 points a game in four straight seasons, and he's likely to make it five straight in 2024-25.

Brown (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports

Brown got the night off Sunday against Toronto, along with Boston's usual starters. He's averaged 21.8 minutes through three exhibitions so far, posting 15.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

Coach Joe Mazzulla said Brown (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Raptors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown played 23 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the 76ers and recorded 18 points (7-12 FG), eight rebounds and four assists. Brown's last chance to play during the preseason will come Tuesday in Toronto.

Brown had 21 points (7-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 44 minutes during Monday's 106-88 victory over Dallas in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Brown won the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP award after averaging a well-rounded 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks across five NBA Finals games. The three-time All-Star helped lead the team to title No. 18 after a dominant season, during which the Celtics boasted the best record in the league. Brown was a force in the 2023-24 playoffs, averaging 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks while shooting an extremely efficient 51.6 percent across 19 games. The Celtics will look to run it back next season with Brown and Jayson Tatum at the helm.

Brown won the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP award after averaging a well-rounded 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks across five NBA Finals games. The three-time All-Star helped to lead the team to Banner No. 18 after a dominant season, when the Celtics boasted the best record in the league.

The Celtics will look to run it back next season with Brown and Jayson Tatum at the helm.

Brown closed with 10 points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and two assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 122-84 loss to the Mavericks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The Celtics suffered one of the worst losses in the NBA Finals' history, an outcome nobody expected, given how the previous three games of the series unfolded. Brown had a rough showing on both ends of the floor and struggled massively from the floor, ending with more field goal attempts than points scored. Brown is among the players who must bounce back quickly, with Game 5 -- and a potential title-clinching win in front of their fans at TD Garden -- awaiting Monday.

Brown finished Wednesday's 106-99 victory over Dallas in Game 3 of the NBA Finals with 30 points (12-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 41 minutes.

Brown continued his dominance on both sides of the court during Boston's Game 3 win. The star forward was quiet during the first half and posted only six points. But he exploded for another 24 in the second half, helping Boston stake a 3-0 Finals lead. He was also Boston's most efficient scorer, while finishing two boards and two dimes short of a triple-double. And his defensive effort helped Boston keep Dallas under 100 points for the third game in a row. Defense wins championships. Brown and his fellow Celtics now look to sweep the Finals Friday night in Dallas.

Brown provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 42 minutes during Sunday's 105-98 victory over the Mavericks in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Brown struggled a bit with his shot from three-point range, but other than that, he delivered his usual stat-filling performance while also operating as one of Boston's go-to players on offense. Brown has been on a tear of late, scoring 20-plus points in six straight playoff appearances while also contributing on the defensive end. Over that six-game stretch, Brown is averaging 27.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals per contest.

Brown accumulated 22 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-11 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three steals over 37 minutes during Thursday's 107-89 victory over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring in this comfortable win, but he did more than just that, as he also left his mark on the defensive end and grabbed headlines with a posterizing dunk during the second quarter. Brown has been alternating with Jayson Tatum the role of operating as Boston's go-to player on offense, with the Celtics riding whoever has the hottest hand, and that was certainly the case with Brown in this series opener. He's now scored at least 20 points in five straight playoff appearances, representing his longest streak in the current postseason run.

Brown ended with 29 points (11-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 44 minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Even though Jayson Tatum led the Celtics in scoring throughout the series and Jrue Holiday grabbed headlines for his excellent defensive play, no player was more consistent than Brown, who was named the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals. Brown surpassed the 25-point mark in three of the four games he played against Indiana, though he repeat the same feat just three times in the previous two series combined.

Brown contributed 40 points (14-27 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 8-11 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 victory over the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown has been on a roll of late, but this 40-point effort was his best scoring mark of the 2023-24 playoff campaign. The star forward has surpassed the 25-point mark in four of his last five appearances, and he should continue to have a massive role in the Celtics' offensive scheme ahead of Game 3 on Saturday.

Brown contributed 26 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 44 minutes during Tuesday's 133-128 overtime victory over the Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

This was a great response from Brown after he was held to 11 points in the final game of the previous series against the Cavaliers. He's been terrific for most of the playoffs, to be fair, as he's hitting 54.8 percent from the field while averaging 23.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Brown amassed 27 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Monday's 109-102 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Brown was a dominant pairing alongside Jayson Tatum, leading Boston offensively en route to helping the team take a 3-1 series advantage. Brown connected on a pair of threes while ending as one of two players with 25 or more points in the victory, also finishing two rebounds shy of a double-double. Brown has turned his game up a notch over the last two games against Cleveland, posting at least 25 points and eight boards in two straight outings.

Brown posted 19 points (7-17 FG, 0-6 3pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes in Thursday's 118-94 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Brown struggled from deep in Thursday's contest, not connecting on a three but still ending second on the team in scoring in a near 20-point outing in a Game 2 defeat. Brown had a down game in comparison to Tuesday's 32-point showing in Game 1 and Boston will need the star guard to contribute more in order to steal a game on the road in Game 3 and break a series tie with Cleveland.

Brown notched 32 points (12-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 win over the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Jayson Tatum had a rough shooting performance in the series opener, but Brown was there to pick him up, and the latter led the Celtics in scoring with an impressive, efficient display on the offensive end of the court. Brown has scored 20 or more points in four of his last five playoff appearances, and he'll aim to keep that streak alive in Game 2 on Thursday.

Brown finished Wednesday's 118-84 victory over Miami in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 25 points (11-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes.

Brown was one of two Boston players who reached the 25-point mark Wednesday, with Derrick White being the other, but he didn't do much outside of scoring. Brown scored 20-plus points in three of the five outings in the series against the Heat, and he should continue to play a prominent role on offense in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, regardless of the opponent, especially if Kristaps Porzingis (calf) remains sidelined for a prolonged stretch.

Brown posted 22 points (11-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 104-84 victory over the Heat in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Brown couldn't repeat the 33-point output from Game 2, but he delivered a well-rounded effort and surpassed the 20-point mark for the second consecutive contest, as he continues to play a prominent role on offense for the Celtics even when the team is at full strength. Brown should play a significant role on offense once again when these two teams meet again Monday. He's averaging 24.0 points per game in the series.

Brown finished with 33 points (13-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Brown led all players in Wednesday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-high mark from three and hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a well-rounded performance in a losing effort. Brown had his breakout game in the series against the Heat after posting 17 points in Sunday's Game 1 win. Brown has recorded at least 17 points and eight rebounds in both games, the type of performance the Celtics hope continues the rest of the quarterfinals series.

Brown (rest) will not play Sunday against the Wizards.

With the No. 1 seed locked up, it's no surprise to see the Celtics hold out their top six rotation players. In addition to Brown, the Celtics will be without Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford.

Brown (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

All of Boston's regular starters will sit out Friday's contest, so the Celtics' bench players will receive increased playing time. Brown's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Washington.

Brown (hand) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown continues to deal with a left hand sprain but has been available for the past three games, averaging 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.7 minutes per game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Celtics manage Brown's workload over the final two games of the regular season since the team has clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Brown recorded 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-109 loss to the Knicks.

The Celtics had one of their worst offensive showings of the season Thursday and Brown couldn't escape the team's woes, as he needed 15 shots to score 15 points. Brown has failed to surpass the 15-point mark in his last two outings, but he remains a key cog in one of the league's best offenses, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned by two subpar outings in the final days of the regular season.

Brown (hand) is available for Thursday's game against New York, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown was questionable for Thursday's matchup due to a left hand sprain, but he'll be available for a third consecutive game. Over three appearances in April, he's averaged 21.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.

Brown is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Knicks due to a left hand sprain.

With Boston already locking up the top see in the Eastern Conference, it wouldn't be surprising for Brown to sit out Thursday's contest. With Jayson Tatum (knee) also questionable, Sam Hauser could see increased playing time.

Brown amassed 14 points (7-19 FG, 0-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 104-91 loss to the Bucks.

Brown had major problems from the field and needed 19 shots to score 14 points, his lowest tally since he recorded eight points in a 114-105 loss to the Lakers on Feb. 1. The rebounds and steals were a nice tally and somewhat salvaged his fantasy stat line, but fantasy managers are counting on Brown to produce better scoring performances. He'll aim to bounce back when the Celtics take on the Knicks on Thursday.

Brown closed Sunday's 124-107 win over the Trail Blazers with 26 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.

Brown ended up taking the court for Boston in Sunday's victory despite dealing with a hand injury that sidelined him in two of the past three games, going on to lead all Celtics players in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes. Brown has now scored 20 or more points in eight of his last 10 games and in two straight appearances.

Brown (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown has missed two of the past three games but will shake off a questionable tag and suit up Sunday. Jayson Tatum (knee) is out, so Brown should be Boston's go-to playmaker versus Portland. Over his last 11 appearances, Brown has averaged 27.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.7 steals in 35.0 minutes per game.

Brown (hand) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown has missed two of the past three games for Boston with a left hand sprain, though he's considered day-to-day. With the Celtics just trying to get to the playoffs at 100 percent, they may be extra cautious for the remainder of the regular season.

Brown (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown continues to deal with a left hand sprain and will be unavailable for the second time in the last three games. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could see an uptick in playing time against Sacramento, while Brown's next chance to return will be Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

Brown (hand) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Kings, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown is in danger of missing his second contest in three games due to a left hand sprain. If Brown is ultimately ruled out, Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time.

Brown (hand) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown continues dealing with a sprained left hand, which could sideline him for a second consecutive contest Wednesday. Jaden Springer (knee) is also questionable for an otherwise healthy Boston rotation at the moment.

Brown (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown was questionable for Monday's matchup due to a left hand sprain, and he'll be forced to miss at least one game due to the issue. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser are candidates to see increased run against Charlotte.

Brown is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained left hand.

Brown's health will need to be monitored, especially in the context of Boston commencing a four-game week Monday. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser have settled into 25-30 minute workloads when Brown has been unavailable of late.

Brown finished Monday's 120-118 loss to Atlanta with 24 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 37 minutes.

Brown quickly compiled 13 points in the first quarter as Boston jumped out to a 20-point lead in the frame. However, he then failed to score until midway through the third quarter, by which point Atlanta had cut the gap to five points. Brown's streaky scoring combined with late-game methodology that featured an isolation contested three were costly factors in Boston squandering a massive lead to a Hawks squad still lacking Trae Young (hand surgery).

Brown (ankle) isn't listed on the team's injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks.

Brown was held out of Saturday's matchup against the Bulls for right ankle injury management, but he'll be ready to go for Monday. He's averaging 29.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 steals over his last five appearances.

Brown will not play in Saturday's game in Chicago due to right ankle injury management, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

With the Celtics firmly in first place, they will opt to err on the side of caution Saturday by holding Brown out to rest his ankle. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) out, plus Jayson Tatum (ankle) questionable, Boston could be going to its depth early. As a result, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Jaden Springer and Oshae Brissett could all be looking at bigger roles than usual. Brown's next chance to suit up will come Monday in Atlanta.

Brown produced 33 points (13-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds and four steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 129-102 victory over the Pistons.

With Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) both out of the lineup, Brown flew solo and supplied more than 30 points for the third time in his last four games while tying his season high in steals. The 27-year-old wing has scored more than 20 in 13 straight games since the All-Star break, and he's averaged 28.8 points, 6.1 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.4 steals over that stretch while shooting 54.3 percent from the floor and 41.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Brown (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown was questionable for Friday's matchup, but he'll be able to suit up for the first half of a back-to-back set. Over his last two appearances, he's averaged 26.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 33.5 minutes per game.

Brown (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Pistons, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown has played in each of Boston's last two contests but could be held out of the first leg of the team's back-to-back Friday due to a right ankle sprain. Sam Hauser (ankle) will likely receive an increased workload if Brown is ruled out.

Brown (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown will suit up for a second straight game after missing two of the previous three contests. Despite missing some time, Brown has been sharp over the last month and averaged 29.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.1 minutes over his last 11 appearances.

Brown is questionable for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee due to a right ankle sprain, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown has suited up in two of Boston's last four contests, initially missing a game due to a hip contusion and sitting in Sunday's win over the Wizards due to a right ankle sprain which has lingered since. He has compiled 68 points across 63 minutes in his last two appearances, but his status will still need to be monitored in advance of Wednesday's game.

Brown amassed 31 points (11-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 119-94 win over the Pistons.

Brown showcased effective multi-level scoring Monday, and his usage has been off the charts in his last five appearances, yielding 32.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals while connecting on 52.5 percent of a staggering 24.4 shots per game. On the season, Brown ranks in the 72nd percentile among all players by generating 1.058 points per possession.

Brown (ankle) has been cleared for Monday's game against Detroit, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown's availability is a critical addition to a Boston forward rotation that will be without Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Sam Hauser (ankle). Brown is averaging 33.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists across three games without Tatum this season.

Brown (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Detroit, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has missed two of the last three games due to an ankle issue, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action for the second half of a back-to-back set Monday. Sam Hauser (ankle) has been ruled out, so Jaden Springer, Svi Mykhailiuk and Oshae Brissett are candidates for additional minutes if Brown is sidelined.

Brown (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown will be sidelined for the second time over his last three appearances. However, the absences seem precautionary, as they've both come during back-to-back sets, and he was able to post 37 points (14-23 FG) in 33 minutes during Thursday's win over the Suns. Brown's next chance to suit up will come Monday versus the Pistons, but the Celtics almost have the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference locked up, so they may continue to err on the side of caution.

Brown is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Wizards due to a right ankle sprain, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown is in danger of missing his second game out of Boston's last three contests Sunday due to a right ankle sprain. If the star forward is ruled out, Sam Hauser will likely enter the starting lineup in his absence.

Brown closed Thursday's 127-112 win over the Suns with 37 points (14-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes.

Brown has now scored 20-plus points in all 10 games since the All-Star break, and he has scored 25 points or more in eight of those instances. While his free throw shooting has slipped in that span, Brown has shown tremendous efficiency from the field while keeping his turnovers to a minimum. Since the All-Star game, Brown is averaging 28.9 points per game on 54.0 percent shooting (including 40.6 percent from three on 6.9 3PA/G), 6.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals over 33.4 minutes per game.

Brown (back) is available for Thursday's game versus the Suns, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday despite dealing with a left hip contusion. Brown will likely reclaim his starting spot from Sam Hauser against Phoenix.

Brown (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown is in danger of missing his second straight contest Tuesday due to a sacroiliac strain. If the star forward is ruled out, Sam Hauser will likely continue to start in his absence.

Brown has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Utah due to a sacroiliac strain, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown will take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set due to a lingering injury, but this absence may just be precautionary. Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) are also out, so Boston will be shorthanded again, while Brown's next chance to suit up will come Thursday versus Phoenix.

Brown chipped in a game-high 27 points (13-29 FG, 1-8 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 121-99 victory over the Trail Blazers.

The 27-year-old wing continued his impressive surge since the All-Star break. Brown has topped 20 points in nine straight games, averaging 28.0 points, 6.1 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.1 steals while shooting 53.2 percent from the floor. With Jrue Holiday (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) both battling nagging injuries, Brown is likely to maintain an elevated usage rate for the time being.

Brown, Derrick White (hand) and Jayson Taum (ankle) have gotten the green light, but Jrue Holiday (knee) will join Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) on the sidelines. Since the All-Star break, Brown has averaged 28.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.5 minutes over eight appearances.

Brown (pelvis) is questionable for Monday's game at Portland, Celtics insider Marc D'Amico reports.

The Celtics are listing four of their five regular starters as questionable, while Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) has been ruled out. It's the front-end of a back-to-back for Boston, so it's very possible the Eastern Conference leaders will take it easy with at least a couple of their stars Monday night. Brown has been on a tear of late, averaging 29.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.6 minutes over his last seven games.

Brown ended Saturday's 117-107 victory over the Suns with 27 points (10-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes.

Brown posted a strong stat line across the board and reached the 25-point plateau for the fourth time across five March outings. Fantasy numbers aside, Brown made history by becoming the third player in Celtics' history to record 1,000 three-pointers made, joining Jayson Tatum and Paul Pierce on that list. Brown has been playing well in recent weeks and remains an elite sidekick for Tatum, taking a step back when needed but also taking over if the situation calls for it. Brown is averaging 28.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game since the end of the All-Star break.

Brown (pelvis) is available for Saturday's game versus the Suns, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown (pelvis) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.

Brown has been dealing with this injury for a few days, but it's considered a mild contusion. He was able to play Thursday against the Nuggets and managed to produce 41 points (16-29 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-14 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 41 minutes.

Brown closed Thursday's 115-109 loss to the Nuggets with 41 points (16-29 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-14 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 41 minutes.

Brown led all players in Thursday's contest in scoring and shots made, also leading the way with a game-best rebound total in a well-rounded double-double showcase. Brown set a new season high in rebounds, hauling in 10 or more boards in five games this year. He also tallied a season-best point total, marking the second time he has recorded 40 or more points.

Brown (pelvis) will play Thursday against the Nuggets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

There's been no word of any minutes restrictions for Brown, so managers can feel confident firing him up for tonight's matchup with Denver.

Brown is questionable for Thursday's game against Denver with a sacroiliac strain, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Brown was questionable ahead of Tuesday's loss to Cleveland due to a left knee contusion, but he appears he suffered a different injury during the contest. If Brown is out, Al Horford would likely move into the starting lineup, while Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could see a few extra minutes off the bench.

Brown ended with 21 points (8-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 105-104 loss to Cleveland.

The 27-year-old wing has been locked in since the All-Star break. Brown has topped 20 points in six straight games, averaging 26.2 points, 5.3 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.8 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 56.0 percent from the floor and 44.7 percent (17-for-38) from long distance.

Brown (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has yet to miss a game since the All-Star break, as he's averaging 27.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.2 minutes per game over his last five appearances. He'll look to continue his strong play against a shorthanded Cavaliers squad.

Brown is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left knee contusion.

Brown has scored at least 20 points in five straight games, averaging 27.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals during that stretch. If he sits out, Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard and Al Horford would be candidates for more playing time, especially if Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) remains sidelined.

Brown had 29 points (11-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 140-88 win over the Warriors.

Brown led all players in Sunday's contest in scoring and threes made while tallying a trio of rebounds and assists over just 22 minutes due to the blowout nature of the game. Brown has scored 29 or more points in 14 outings this season, connecting on five or more threes five times.

Brown provided 25 points (11-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 138-110 victory over the Mavericks.

Brown scored at least 25 points for the third straight appearance, and the All-Star forward continues to deliver a significant impact for Boston on both ends of the court. Even though Brown's overall numbers have experienced a dip compared to his previous three seasons, something that can be explained by the arrival of Kristaps Porzingis, he remains a crucial cog for the Celtics on offense and a vital part of their scheme on both ends of the court. Fantasy managers certainly value him highly due to his two-way play as well. He's averaging 20.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game since the beginning of February.

Brown recorded 31 points (11-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 117-99 victory over the 76ers.

Brown was remarkably efficient Tuesday, missing just three shots from the field en route to his second consecutive outing with 30 or more points. Even though such performances haven't been a rarity for Brown, as he's scored at least 30 points in 12 different outings already, he has struggled a bit with the game-to-game consistency of late. He's averaging 20.3 points per game in February, which represents his lowest mark for a single month during the current campaign.

Brown closed with 30 points (13-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 116-102 win over the Knicks.

Brown reached the 30-point mark for the 11th time this season, and the star forward continues to thrive while operating as the second-best offensive threat in one of the league's most prolific offenses. Even though he's not used to leading Boston in scoring, Brown is talented enough to take over in any game if needed. He's averaging 21.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game over his last five appearances.

Brown ended with 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 129-112 win over the Bulls.

Brown looked healthy throughout the All-Star break, participating in the Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star Game, so it wasn't surprising to see him handle his regular workload in the league's return. On paper, Brown is the second-best option on offense behind Jayson Tatum, and he remains an elite fantasy contributor in all formats. That said, he's averaging "only" 17.4 points per game across his last 10 appearances.

Brown is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Sam Hauser will return to the second unit with Brown back in action, and joining Brown in the first unit for Thursday's game will be Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis.

Brown (shoulder) is slated to play Sunday for the Eastern Conference in the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.

Brown missed Wednesday's 136-86 win over the Nets due to a right shoulder contusion, but his absence for the Celtics' final game before the All-Star break was likely a matter of maintenance more than anything else after he played 37 minutes in a win over Brooklyn on Tuesday in the front end of a back-to-back set. He proved his health by taking part in Saturday's All-Star Game practice before later competing in the 2024 AT&T Slam Dunk Contest later in the evening, finishing second in the competition to Mac McClung.

Brown (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a right shoulder contusion. Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Brown's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star Break on Feb. 22 against Chicago.

Brown is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right shoulder contusion, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown played 37 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Nets, posting 19 points and four assists. However, he's in danger of missing the rematch Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, which is a new development for the shooting guard. Despite dealing with numerous minor issues throughout the campaign, Brown has missed just four games this season.

Brown recorded 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 110-106 victory over Miami.

Brown reached the 20-point mark after three straight games in which he couldn't hit that mark. Even though his role as Boston's second-best offensive threat behind Jayson Tatum is under no threat, it's worth Brown has been struggling a bit of late. Over his last 10 contests, he's averaging 18.1 points per game, which is below his season mark of 22.0 points per outing.

Brown (back) isn't listed on Boston's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown missed Sunday's win over Memphis due to lower-back tightness but returned to practice Tuesday and will suit up Wednesday. While the Celtics are getting Brown back in action, they may be without Jrue Holiday (elbow).

Brown (back) practiced Tuesday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown missed Sunday's game against Memphis due to lower-back tightness, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Wednesday's game versus Atlanta. His status for that game should be released later Tuesday.

Brown (back) will not play Sunday versus Memphis, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown will be sidelined by lower back tightness, marking his fourth absence of the season and first since Jan. 15. Sam Hauser and Oshae Brissett are likely due for enlarged roles in his stead, but upticks in usage for Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday and Derrick White will likely occur as well.

Brown is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to low back tightness, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown didn't look sharp in Thursday's action against the Lakers, but it's unclear if the back issue was bothering him at that point. The Celtics will likely have another update on the forward's status closer to tipoff.

Brown racked up eight points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Thursday's 114-105 loss to the Lakers.

Brown was one of several Boston starters who struggled badly Thursday, as Jrue Holiday and Derrick White were also held to single-digit points. Still, Brown's woes were indeed noticeable given his shooting line. He's failed to reach the 20-point plateau in three of his last five outings, and Brown will look to bounce back when the Celtics take on the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Brown accumulated 25 points (9-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 129-124 win over the Pacers.

The 27-year-old is still looking to get into a rhythm since he missed a game in the middle of January due to a hyperextended knee. Brown has scored more than 20 points only four times in eight games since that absence, averaging 19.3 points, 6.3 boards, 4.5 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.4 steals while shooting 27.9 percent (12-for-43) from long distance. If the knee is still bothering him, his production may not fully bounce back until he gets a chance to rest it further.

Brown produced 22 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 118-112 win over New Orleans.

Brown finished just three assists away from notching a triple-double Monday, and the star forward recorded at least 11 boards for the third time in the current month alone. Brown can stuff the stat sheet on any given game, but most of his fantasy upside comes from his scoring as one of Boston's go-to players on offense. On that note, he's averaging 20.6 points per game over his last 10 appearances.

Brown ended Thursday's 143-110 victory over Miami with 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and three steals over 27 minutes.

Every Boston starter scored at least 15 points and sank at least three three-pointers, but Brown led the team with four makes from beyond the arc. It's the seventh time in 12 January contests he's drained multiple threes, and over that stretch he's averaging 22.9 points, 5.5 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.1 threes and 1.2 steals while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor.

Brown notched 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-107 victory over Houston.

Brown didn't have his best shooting output Sunday, but he compensated for the lack of efficiency in the scoring column with impressive contributions in other categories. In fact, this was Brown's first triple-double of the season, and he also set up a season-high mark in assists. Despite his strong all-around showing, expect Brown to continue earning most of his fantasy value through his scoring ability.

Brown logged 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 win over the Spurs.

After missing the prior game with a minor knee issue, Brown was back in the lineup has topped 20 points for the fifth time in his last six games. The 27-year-old forward has scored in double digits in every game this season, but his overall usage is down as the Celtics adjust to Jrue Holiday's presence. Brown's still averaging 24.5 points, 5.4 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals through 21 games since the beginning of December while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent from three-point range.

Brown (knee) isn't listed on Boston's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Spurs, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown missed Monday's win over the Raptors due to a hyperextended right knee but will return to action Wednesday. However, Derrick White (ankle), Jrue Holiday (elbow) and Kristaps Porzingis (knee) are questionable, so Jayson Tatum and Brown may handle increased usage versus San Antonio.

Brown (knee) will not play Monday against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

A hyperextended right knee will keep Brown out for just his second absence of the season. Last time he sat out, the Celtics threw Al Horford into the starting five. He should see an increased role, as should Sam Hauser and other wings.

Brown (knee), who's listed as questionable, didn't participate in Boston's morning shootaround ahead of Monday's game against the Raptors, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown scored 32 points (11-15 FG) in 28 minutes during Saturday's blowout win over Houston, but he presumably hyperextended his right knee during the contest as well. Brown's trending toward missing his first game since Dec. 28, which would allow Al Horford or Sam Hauser to slide into the starting lineup.

Brown is questionable for Monday's game in Toronto due to right knee hyperextension, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown dominated Houston on Saturday, posting 32 points (11-15 FG) in 28 minutes, but he's now in danger of missing his first game since Dec. 28. Al Horford and Sam Hauser are candidates to join the starting lineup if Brown is sidelined, but Jrue Holiday, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum would presumably lead Boston's offense in usage rate.

Brown closed Saturday's 145-113 win over Houston with 32 points (11-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes.

Brown was impressive for the Celtics on Saturday, carrying the team on offense and showing an extremely efficient shooting touch, missing just four of his 15 attempts from the field. Brown might operate as Boston's second-best offensive alternative behind Jayson Tatum, but it's not entirely odd to see him explode on offense. This was his ninth game with 30 or more points this season, and he should remain an elite fantasy alternative given he holds a prominent role in one of the best offenses in the league.

Brown recorded 35 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 13-13 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime win over Minnesota.

Brown led all Celtics in rebounds while ending as one of two players with 35 or more points and as the lone player with a double-double in an overtime victory. Brown, who also tallied a team-high-tying pair of steals defensively, set a season high in rebounds while crossing the double-digit mark in boards for the second time. Brown has posted at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in two contests this year, both of which have occurred over his last seven games.

Brown posted 40 points (17-26 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes in Monday's 133-131 loss to Indiana.

Brown led all players in Monday's contest in scoring and shots made while adding a trio of threes and hauling in a handful of rebounds to lead the charge for the Celtics. Brown set a new season high in scoring after previously holding a season-high scoring total of 36 points which he tallied Oct. 30 against Washington. Brown has recorded 30 or more points in two straight games, averaging 35.5 points per game over that two-game span.

Brown totaled 31 points (13-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-8 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-101 win over the Pacers.

Brown reached the 30-point plateau after back-to-back contests in which he couldn't clear the 15-point hurdle. The star forward has had some ups and downs of late, and he hasn't been as consistent as Jayson Tatum on offense, but he's still scored 24 or more points in three of his last five appearances. He's averaging 24.4 points per contest over his last 10 games.

Brown provided 24 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 134-101 victory over the Spurs.

Brown provided a boost to the Boston offense in a New Year's Eve victory, finishing second on the team in scoring and shots made while adding a half-dozen rebounds and a pair of steals in a balanced performance. Brown has tallied at least 20 points and five rebounds in 15 games this season, including in seven of his last 10 contests.

Brown (back) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Brown missed Thursday's overtime win over the Pistons due to a low back contusion but will return for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set. Brown figures to see increased usage as well, given Jayson Tatum (rest) is out. The last time Tatum was sidelined, Brown finished with 28 points (11-21 FG), six assists and five rebounds in 29 minutes during a blowout win over the Kings.

Brown (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown missed Thursday's game against the Pistons due to a low back contusion, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up for the second half of the back-to-back set. With Al Horford (rest) out and Kristaps Porzingis (calf) doubtful, Sam Hauser and Neemias Queta should see additional minutes Friday, especially if Brown is unavailable.

Brown (back) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Pistons, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to a low back contusion. Sam Hauser, Oshae Brissett and Payton Pritchard are candidates to receive increased minutes in his absence. Brown's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Toronto.

Brown is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Pistons due to a low back contusion, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown injured his back during Monday's win over the Lakers but was able to finish the contest. Considering Thursday's matchup is on the first leg of a back-to-back for Boston against a Pistons team that has lost 27 straight games, the Celtics could play it cautiously with the star forward. If Brown is ultimately ruled out, Sam Hauser would likely receive extended minutes.

Brown had 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 126-115 victory over the Lakers.

A second-quarter bump from LeBron James sent Brown to the locker room with a back issue, but he returned to start the second half. All five Celtic starters, including Brown, scored 18 or more points during the emphatic Christmas win in LA. Brown has scored 18 or more points in his last eight games. The Celtics now head home to face the struggling Pistons on Thursday night.

Brown (back) will start the second half of Monday's game against the Lakers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Brown (back) went to the locker room late in the second quarter of Monday's matchup against the Lakers, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports. He's officially questionable to return.

LeBron James tried to make a play on defense and collided with Brown. The two superstars stayed on the ground for a prolonged period, but they were both able to get up and walk off the court. However, Brown went to the locker room, while James stayed on the bench and eventually returned to the game. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the Celtics should provide a more comprehensive update during halftime.

Brown chipped in 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 145-108 victory over the Clippers.

He could have posted even better numbers, but Brown joined the Celtics' other starters on the bench with a little over seven minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Brown accumulated 28 points (11-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 victory over the Kings.

Although Brown failed to hit a three-pointer for the second time in the last four games, he did enough damage elsewhere to post a solid fantasy total in a decisive beatdown on the Kings. Jayson Tatum (ankle) was barely missed as Brown, Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis took care of business.

Brown accumulated 28 points (10-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 overtime loss to Golden State.

Brown has notched 30 or more points in four games this season, including in three of his last eight contests. He has also posted at least five rebounds and five assists in two of his last three appearances.

Brown (knee) will play Friday against the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Despite being listed with an ankle injury and then a knee injury, Brown will play in both halves of the Celtics' current back-to-back set. On Thursday, Brown tallied 22 points (10-20 FG), five rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 36 minutes during a 116-107 win over the Cavaliers.

Brown is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sprained left ankle, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has been on a tear recently with 20-plus points in five of his last six appearances, but he's dealing with an ankle injury following Tuesday's win over Cleveland. If Brown is forced to miss Thursday's matchup, Dalano Banton, Sam Hauser, Svi Mykhailiuk and Lamar Stevens are candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

Brown finished Tuesday's 120-113 victory over the Cavaliers with 25 points (10-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes.

He is the 71st-ranked player in standard formats, his lowest rank since the 2018-19 season.

Brown closed with 30 points (14-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 122-112 loss to the Pacers.

Brown came one rebound shy of a double-double in the loss, and although the milestone continues to elude him this season, his strong multi-category contribution is a critical piece of Boston's success. His scoring and rebound averages are lagging behind his 2022-23 totals, but the upside fantasy potential for Brown is still unquestioned.

Brown accumulated 20 points (8-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and four steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 125-119 victory over the 76ers.

Brown (adductor) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown was initially considered questionable for Friday's contest but will suit up at Orlando. The 27-year-old has averaged 18.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists over 34.8 minutes in four contests since his one-game absence due to a groin issue.

Brown is listed as questionable to play Friday against the Magic due to a right adductor strain.

The absence of Brown could represent a huge blow for the Celtics, especially since Jrue Holiday (ankle) is also carrying an injury designation. Not having their second-best scorer could be massive for Boston, and if he ends up being ruled out, then Sam Hauser could be in line to earn a bigger role. Brown is averaging 21.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.9 minutes across his first 14 appearances.

Brown had 26 points (10-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-116 victory over the Bucks.

His eight dimes were also a season-high mark, and his solid scoring night snapped a two-game slump. Brown has been a bit inconsistent to start 2023-24, but he's still averaging 21.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.9 minutes across his first 14 appearances.

Brown finished with 13 points (5-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Monday's 121-118 overtime loss to the Hornets.

While Jayson Tatum (45 points) had everything working, Brown couldn't do anything right. It was a disappointing overtime loss for the Celtics, and Brown has now dropped back-to-back duds, totaling just 25 points (10-33 FG), 10 rebounds and six assists over his last two appearances. Before his return shooting slump, Brown averaged 22.9 points on 47.2 percent shooting over his first 11 appearances, so fantasy managers can expect a bounce-back performance soon.

Brown closed with 12 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 102-100 win over the Grizzlies.

Brown was listed as questionable for the contest due to an adductor strain, but he was cleared to suit up for a second straight game after missing a Nov. 15 matchup versus Philadelphia due to an illness. Brown struggled offensively in the narrow win over Memphis, but he salvaged his production with multiple tallies in each defensive category for the first time this season. Across 12 appearances, the veteran forward is averaging 22.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.8 minutes per game.

Brown (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown was a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup but will be able to suit up in the first half of the back-to-back set. He's topped 20 points in each of his last four appearances, averaging 25.5 points, 4.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 33.3 minutes per game.

Brown (groin) is participating in shootaround, but he is still dealing groin soreness, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown, who is dealing with an adductor strain, will test his groin throughout shootaround prior to a decision being made on his availability. Sam Hauser would be the main beneficiary if Brown is unable to suit up.

Brown (groin) is questionable to play Sunday against Memphis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown is dealing with a right adductor strain. Sunday's contest coming against the injury-riddled Grizzlies may allow the Celtics to operate with an abundance of caution and give Brown extra time to heal. He has only missed one contest this year, which was due to an illness.

Brown registered 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 108-105 win over the Raptors.

Brown was unable to play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to an illness, but he led Boston in scoring Friday and certainly seemed like himself. His overall production is down slightly compared to last season, as Brown is losing a couple touches to Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday.

Brown (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has been upgraded from questionable to available and will play Friday after missing Wednesday's win over the Sixers due to a non-COVID illness. Before his one game-absence, Brown had scored at least 20 points in five of six games, averaging 23.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 34.5 minutes during that stretch.

Brown (illness), who officially remains questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, intends to suit up for the matchup, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown participated in the Celtics' morning shootaround Friday and will likely be able to return to action following a one-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. Although his early-season numbers have been slightly down from last year, he's still been a productive presence for Boston, averaging 22.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 33.7 minutes per game.

Brown (illness), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, participated in the Celtics' morning shootaround, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown missed Wednesday's game against Philadelphia due to his non-COVID illness, but it's encouraging that he was able to participate in shootaround ahead of Friday's matchup. Sam Hauser will likely draw another start if Brown is sidelined, but the eighth-year pro appears to be trending in the right direction.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Raptors.

Brown is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to a non-COVID illness. If Brown is ruled out, Sam Hauser would likely draw another start in his absence.

Brown (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report due to a non-COVID illness, and he'll officially be sidelined for at least one matchup. He had topped 20 points in his last three appearances, but more work could be available for Sam Hauser, Lamar Stevens, Jrue Holiday and Payton Pritchard on Wednesday. Brown's next chance to return will be Friday in Toronto.

Brown (illness), who is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, wasn't present for the team's morning shootaround, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Brown's absence from shootaround isn't particularly surprising since the 27-year-old was a late addition to Boston's injury report due to a non-COVID illness. The Celtics will presumably continue to monitor him in the hours leading up to tipoff, but Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard could see increased roles if Brown sits out Wednesday.

Brown is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to a non-COVID illness, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Brown wasn't on Boston's initial injury report but is feeling under the weather Wednesday morning. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up against Philadelphia, but if he's unavailable, Sam Hauser, Lamar Stevens and Payton Pritchard could see an uptick in playing time.

Brown accumulated 22 points (7-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 114-98 victory over New York.

Brown was once again one of Boston's leading scorers in a road victory, finishing second on the team in scoring while also providing a boost distributing the ball with a season-high mark in assists. Brown has tallied 20 or more points in seven games this season, including in three straight outings.

Brown finished Saturday's 117-94 win over Toronto with 29 points (12-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes.

Brown has been on a tear of late and has eclipsed the 25-point mark in three of his last four appearances, and he keeps showing the ability to lead the Celtics offensively when called upon duty. Even though he is sharing the offensive load with Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, Brown is averaging a respectable 23.0 points per game this season.

Brown delivered 28 points (10-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Friday's 121-107 win over the Nets.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring Friday, but perhaps even more importantly, he managed to bounce back from a sloppy 11-point effort against the 76ers on Wednesday. Brown is firmly entrenched as Boston's second-best scoring alternative behind Jayson Tatum, and while he has had a few ups and downs to start the year, he has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances.

Brown had 11 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the 76ers.

Brown managed to score in double figures once again Wednesday, but he matched his lowest scoring total of the season during the narrow loss. The 27-year-old hasn't had much success from beyond the arc in recent matchups, as he's converted just 25.9 percent of his three-point attempts over his last four appearances. However, he's still shooting 35.3 percent from long distance this year and should have better scoring performances when he can rediscover his shooting stroke.

Brown amassed 26 points (10-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 114-109 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

Brown led all Celtics in shots made from three while finishing second on the team in scoring and as one of two players with 25 or more points in an overtime loss to the Wolves. Brown has posted two straight games with at least 20 points, five rebounds and four assists, tallying at least 20 points and five rebounds in four of his six outings.

Brown provided 23 points (7-22 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 35 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 victory over the Nets.

Brown was inefficient offensively, but his volume salvaged a respectable performance. Shooting 44.7/36.1/72.7 percent from the field is underwhelming for a player of Brown's caliber, although the undefeated Celtics are mostly unfazed.

Brown provided 36 points (13-24 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Monday's 126-107 victory over Washington.

Brown seems to have shaken off his poor 11-point outing in the season but with two strong performances, and he led the Celtics in scoring in this one as Boston cruised to a dominant victory in Washington. Brown is trending up and it seems his outing against the Knicks was nothing but an off night. He will try to keep it going against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Brown delivered 27 points (11-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 34 minutes in Friday's 119-111 at home win over the Heat.

After a rough first game versus the Knicks, Brown bounced back with a strong performance versus Boston's nemesis from last year's playoffs. Brown was efficient from the field and hit some key buckets in the fourth quarter. At one point late, he posted up Kyle Lowry at the elbow, drained a short jumper, then gave Lowry the "too small" gesture. The Celtics now head to D.C. to face the Wizards and their questionable defense on Monday.

Brown delivered 11 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and two turnovers across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-104 win over the Knicks.

In the season debut, Brown took a backseat to Jayson Tatum (34 points) and Kristaps Porzingis (30 points). Porzingis came out red hot at MSG, scoring 15 in the first quarter. That left a relatively low shot attempt total for both Brown and Jrue Holiday. Boston's electric starting five all played 32-plus minutes, highlighting the team's weak bench. It's far too early to panic about Brown's production. But Porzingis' presence could see Brown's stats slip a bit relative to last season's 26.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

Brown tallied 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes in Thursday's 127-99 preseason win over Charlotte.

Brown once again led the Celtics in scoring while posting his first 20-point outing of the preseason while connecting on a preseason-best mark from three in Thursday's preseason finale. Brown appeared in three games this preseason, averaging 18.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists over 26.3 minutes per contest.

Brown finished with 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists and three rebounds over 30 minutes in Tuesday's 123-110 preseason win over New York.

Brown returned to the lineup after missing the last two games due to rest, finishing Tuesday's preseason contest with a team-leading assist mark and as one of six Celtics players in double figures in scoring against the Knicks. Brown has tallied 18.0 points, 3.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds over 28.0 minutes in two preseason games so far.

Brown (rest) will start Tuesday's preseason game against the Knicks, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown took a seat for the Celtics' previous game, but he'll return to action Tuesday and will be joined by Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis in the starting lineup. Coach Joe Mazzulla said the first unit would play close to regular-season minutes Tuesday.

Brown (rest) is out for Wednesday's preseason game versus the 76ers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Brown will miss his second straight preseason game alongside Jayson Tatum due to rest. However, neither has suffered an injury and will have an opportunity to play in Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Knicks.

Brown won't play Monday against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Brown posted 19 points in Sunday's season-opening win over Philadelphia, but he'll take a seat for the second half of Boston's back-to-back. The All-Star wing's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Brown finished with 19 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 26 minutes in Sunday's 114-106 preseason win over the 76ers.

While Payton Pritchard stole the show with his 26-point outing off the bench, Brown was impressive as well and was one of Boston's best players. The star guard is trying to find a rhythm before the start of the season, as he will play a pivotal role for a Celtics team that looks like one of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference.

Brown and the Celtics agreed Tuesday to a five-year supermax extension worth up to $304 million, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Brown's deal is currently the richest contract in NBA history, but that's likely to change as the salary cap continues to increase. It's also fully guaranteed, with a trade kicker, and doesn't include a player option. Brown's struggles in the playoffs against Miami were well-documented, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been a vital part of Boston's success since being drafted in 2016. The 6-foot-6 forward has averaged at least 20.0 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in four consecutive campaigns and posted career highs in points (26.6), rebounds (6.9) and assists (3.5) per game in 2022-23.

Brown ended with 19 points (8-23 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 43 minutes during Monday's 103-84 loss to the Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring, assists and blocks while finishing two rebounds shy of a double-double in Monday's Game 7 defeat. Brown finished the Eastern Conference Finals by averaging at least 15 points, eight rebounds and five assists in two games. He scored at least 15 points in six of seven contests.

Brown contributed 26 points (9-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 104-103 victory over the Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown made his first five shots of the game, and despite some foul trouble, he submitted another quality playoff effort. Across 19 postseason outings thus far, the elite shooting guard has averaged 22.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 37.3 minutes per game, but his offensive numbers have been down in the Eastern Conference Finals, posting just 19.0 points on 43.2 percent shooting.

Brown accumulated 12 points (6-17 FG, 0-7 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 loss to Miami in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown missed all seven of his shots beyond the arc and was otherwise ineffective during his worst outing in the playoffs. Boston depends on big nights from Brown and Jayson Tatum to achieve success, and the duo went an abysmal 1-of-14 from long range in the lopsided loss.

Brown amassed 16 points (7-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes during Friday's 111-105 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown had a rough performance in Game 2, ending with more field-goal attempts than points scored, while also failing to make a significant impact in other categories. This outing was also Brown's second game with less than 20 points across his last four playoff outings. That said, he's still averaging a robust 23.0 points per game over his last 10 postseason outings.

Brown racked up 25 points (9-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 41 minutes during Sunday's 112-88 victory over the 76ers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Brown was the portrait of consistency in the series against Philly, averaging 22.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists over the hotly-contested seven-game battle. Brown will continue to be one of Boston's best scoring options as they proceed to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown logged 24 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-8 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 loss to the 76ers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Outside of Jayson Tatum and his game-high 36-point performance, Brown was the only other Boston player who reached the 20-point mark. Brown has been a model of consistency for the Celtics during the current playoff run, putting up at least 20 points in eight straight appearances. He's averaging 25.3 points per game in the playoffs.

Brown posted 25 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 121-87 win over the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Brown was one of the best players for the Celtics in this comfortable win, and he led the team in scoring, in part due to Jayson Tatum's subpar performance. The star guard continues to be extremely consistent as an offensive weapon for the Celtics, scoring at least 20 points in each of his last five playoff appearances.

Brown ended with 23 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the 76ers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Brown was one of three Celtics players with at least 20 points in Monday's Game 1, finishing with a near-perfect shooting mark from the field in over 40 minutes of action. Brown has tallied 20 or more points with five or more rebounds in three straight games for Boston.

Brown closed with 32 points (13-25 FG, 6-8 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 40 minutes during Thursday's 128-120 victory over Atlanta in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Brown turned up the heat on the offensive end, leading all scorers with 32 points including an impressive 6-of-8 from the perimeter. With four of the five Celtics starters shooting at least 50 percent from the field, they were able to repel a late charge by the Hawks, advancing to the second round where the 76ers await.

Brown amassed 35 points (15-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-5 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to the Hawks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Brown took it upon himself to do the bulk of the scoring Tuesday, ending with a team-high 33 points. Unfortunately, his teammates were unable to mirror his efforts, most notably Jason Tatum who went 1-of-10 from the perimeter en route to just 19 points. While the Celtics are still ahead 3-2 in the series, the Hawks have all the momentum heading back to Atlanta for Game 6. While Tatum is likely to bounce back after a couple of subpar performances, Brown is still going to have to be at his best should they hope to avoid a Game 7.

Brown provided 31 points (12-22 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 42 minutes during Sunday's 129-121 victory over Atlanta in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Brown scored his most points of the opening-round series and tied Jayson Tatum for the team high. It was a solid bounce-back shooting performance for the wing, who missed all four of his three-point attempts in Game 3. Over the first four playoff matchups against Atlanta, Brown has averaged 23.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals in 37.0 minutes per game.

Brown produced 29 points (12-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 112-99 victory over the Hawks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Brown was one of two Boston players that ended the series opener with 25-plus points and double-digit rebounds, with Jayson Tatum being the other one, though Brown led the team in both points and boards. Brown averaged career-high marks in both points (26.6) and rebounds (6.9) during the regular season, and he should be one of Boston's biggest weapons as they prepare for a deep playoff run.

Brown (finger) isn't on the injury report for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against Atlanta on Saturday, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown cut his hand at home last week and required stitches, but he was expected to be ready for the start of the playoffs. He fully participated in Thursday's practice session and will officially be available for Game 1. He missed three of the final four games of the regular season but has averaged 26.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 34.4 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

Coach Joe Mazzulla said Brown (finger) was a full go at Thursday's practice with just some tape on his right hand, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Despite missing the final two regular season games with a right finger laceration, Brown has returned to practice. The star forward should be able to suit up in Saturday's playoff matchup with the Hawks. Brown is averaging 26.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 34.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Brown (finger) still isn't practicing, but he was spotted Tuesday in the Celtics' weight room without a bandage on his right hand, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown needed five stitches on his right hand after an accident at his home and missed the final two regular-season games. However, there's been no indication the issue will impact his availability for the playoffs, so the All-Star forward should be returning to practice soon.

Brown (finger) will miss the final two games of the regular season but will be good to go for the start of the playoffs, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.

Per Robb, Brown had to receive five stitches after cutting his hand at his home Thursday evening, resulting in his absence for the last pair of regular-season contests. Fortunately, the issue doesn't appear to be too severe, and Brown should resume his usual duties once the Celtics begin their playoff run.

Brown has been ruled out for Friday's game against Toronto due to a right finger laceration, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Brown missed Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to a back injury and will be unavailable for the second time in the last three matchups since he's now dealing with a finger issue. Grant Williams will likely see increased run against the Raptors, while Brown's final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Sunday against Atlanta.

Brown had 25 points (12-29 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 97-93 win over Toronto.

Brown embraced a more significant role on offense with Jayson Tatum (hip) sidelined and that resulted in him tying his season-high mark when it comes to field goal attempts. He wasn't particularly efficient but still posted a solid stat line and also recorded double-digit rebounds for the third time over his last 10 games. During that span, Brown is averaging 26.7 points and 6.6 rebounds while attempting 22.1 shots per contest.

Brown (back) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown sat out the first half of a back-to-back set Tuesday against the 76ers but will be back in action a day later. He's been held below 20 points in two of his last three appearances, averaging 20.0 points, 4.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 31.0 minutes per game.

Brown (back) will not play Tuesday against the 76ers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, but it remains to be seen if Brown will be cleared for Wednesday's game. Jayson Tatum can expect to see heavy usage Tuesday, and Derrick White could see a big boost in fantasy appeal.

Brown is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to low back pain, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown has been held below 20 points in two of his last three appearances and is dealing with a back issue ahead of Tuesday's matchup. Despite his slight decrease in points recently, he's still averaged 28.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 34.7 minutes per game over his last 11 appearances. If he's sidelined against Philadelphia, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard could see additional run.

Brown produced 12 points (5-19 FG, 0-5 triples, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes in Friday's 122-114 victory over the Jazz.

Brown's 26.3 shooting percentage from the floor was his worst since Feb. 8 when he went 2-for-9 in a victory over the 76ers. It was also just his thrid time over the last month that he failed to knock down anything from beyond the arc. It was the second night of a back-to-back set, so he will look to get back on track in Tuesday's game in Philly. The All-Star wing compiled an average of 27.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.3 triples across 36.2 minutes during the month of March.

Brown (back) is available for Friday's game versus the Jazz, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday with low back pain. The star guard is averaging 29.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 34.8 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Brown is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to low back pain, Steve Hewitt of the Boston Herald reports.

After the Celtics decimated the Bucks on Thursday, a few of Boston's key players may rest against a soft opponent one day later. In addition to Brown, Jayson Tatum (hip) and Al Horford (back) are questionable, while Robert Williams (rest) is doubtful. If the Celtics use a skeleton crew, there will be plenty of value in daily fantasy formats.

Brown posted 30 points (13-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 140-99 win over the Bucks.

Brown led the team in shots made and minutes played Thursday, posting an all-around performance while finishing as one of two players with 30 or more points in the blowout victory. Brown has tallied at least 30 points, five rebounds and five assists on four occasions this season.

Brown recorded 18 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 130-111 loss to the Wizards.

The 26-year-old wing saw his streak of games with at least 20 points and one three-pointer end at eight in a disappointing showing overall for the Celtics. Despite the stumble, Brown is still averaging an impressive 27.9 points, 6.4 boards, 4.1 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.1 steals through 14 games in March, shooting 51.8 percent from the floor on the month.

Brown logged 41 points (18-29 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 137-93 victory over the Spurs.

Brown did it all for Boston in Sunday's blowout win, leading the team in points, rebounds and minutes played in a double-double effort. Brown has scored 40 or more points along with 10 or more rebounds twice this season.

Brown amassed 27 points (10-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 win over Sacramento.

Brown was extremely efficient from the floor and finished second on the team in scoring behind Jayson Tatum's game-high 36 points. Brown has scored at least 24 points in nine of his last 10 appearances, averaging 28.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.4 steals during that stretch.

Brown finished with 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and six assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 loss to the Jazz.

Brown carried a huge load with Marcus Smart (hip), Robert Williams (hamstring) and Al Horford (back) all absent. A tepid night from Jayson Tatum placed even more pressure on Brown, and he responded with a great-all-around stat line. Brown is already on pace for a career-high rebounding average, and he's helped out the team with an average of 6.8 rebounds over Williams' absence.

Brown racked up 27 points (12-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 126-112 win over Portland.

Brown operated as the team's closer in the fourth quarter, knocking down five of six shots for 12 points as the Celtics won their second straight on the road. The shooting guard was highly efficient in the second half, going 7-of-10 from the field for 16 points after shooting just 38.5 percent through the first two quarters. Brown has been a scoring machine as of late, averaging 32.2 points per game over his last four outings on a very solid 55.5 percent shooting from the floor.

Brown ended with 35 points (12-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 104-102 victory over Minnesota.

Brown had a complete performance Wednesday and played a massive role in Boston's tight win over Minnesota, plus he also posted his third 30-point performance since the beginning of March. He's been on a tear of late, averaging 28.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game across eight appearances this month.

Brown logged 43 points (16-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Monday's 111-109 loss to the Rockets.

Brown was hot from the field Monday night, scoring a new season-high 43 points to lead Boston in a close loss. At times, his scoring looked effortless, and he played a key part in keeping the Celtics in it at the end. The former Cal product is putting up better numbers since the start of March, averaging 27.1 points on 51.4 percent shooting, 6.0 boards, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals.

Brown contributed 32 points (12-26 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists and one block in 45 minutes during Monday's 118-114 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

With Jayson Tatum (knee) unavailable, Brown was the focal point of the Celtics' offense and came within one dime of his third career triple-double. The 26-year-old star has scored 30 or more points three times in six games since the All-Star break, averaging 28.0 points, 7.3 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.8 steals over that stretch.

Brown ended Sunday's 131-129 double-overtime loss to the Knicks with 29 points (12-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 47 minutes.

Brown entered Sunday on the back of a monster 35-point performance in Friday's loss to Brooklyn. He followed up with another solid scoring outing, just missing the 30-point mark while pulling down eight boards. Brown was a menace on defense Sunday, posting four steals and rejecting one shot. On pace to set career-highs in points per game(26.5), rebounds per game (6.9), and field goal percentage (48.7) in 2023, Brown will remain a solid fantasy option at shooting guard to finish the season.

Brown ended with 35 points (15-27 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 43 minutes during Friday's 115-105 loss to the Nets.

After being held to 16 points Wednesday against Cleveland, Brown bounced back nicely and was red hot from the field. Despite Brown and Jayson Tatum combining for a total of 57 points, the Celtics dropped their second game out of their past three. Brown will get a matchup against the Knicks on Sunday for what will be the front end of a back-to-back set.

Brown racked up 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers.

Brown's inefficiency shouldn't alarm fantasy owners, as the Cavaliers allow the fewest point per game in the NBA at 106.7. The star guard is averaging 24.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 36.6 minutes across his previous 10 appearances.

Brown (personal) isn't listed on the Celtics' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

As expected, Brown will return to action Wednesday after missing Monday's matchup versus the Knicks due to personal reasons. Across his first two games after the All-Star break, the veteran forward averaged 28.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals. His return will presumably send Derrick White back to a reserve role.

Brown (personal) remains out for Monday's matchup against the Knicks, but head coach Joe Mazzulla said he expects the shooting guard to be back in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Cavaliers, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown has stepped away from the team but will miss only one contest due to personal reasons. Derrick White slides into the first five again with Brown out, but the first-place Celtics should have their preferred starting lineup back in action Wednesday.

Brown (personal) will not suit up for Monday's game in New York.

It's currently unclear why Brown has stepped away from the team, but for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavs. With Brown unavailable Monday, expect more minutes for Sam Hauser and Malcolm Brogdon.

Brown posted 26 points (10-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 110-107 victory over the 76ers.

Brown paced the Celtics in scoring from the jump, racking up 16 first-half points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field, including 2-of-2 from beyond the arc. The shooting guard then went scoreless in the third quarter before re-emerging with 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting in the final period. Brown finished with a team-high 26 points and has now scored at least 25 points in five of his last six games. He's also gone 5-of-9 from three over his last two to help the Celtics maintain their one-game lead at the top of the Eastern Conference standings.

Brown contributed 30 points (11-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 43 minutes during Thursday's 142-138 overtime win over the Pacers.

Brown was one of two Celtics to score 30 or more points in Thursday's overtime win, securing his second straight 30-point double-double. Brown has tallied at least 30 points and 10 rebounds on three occasions this season.

Brown (face) finished Sunday's All-Star Game with 35 points (16-27 FG, 3-12 3Pt), 14 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 25 minutes of action.

The statistics don't mean much in what was perhaps the lowest-effort All-Star Game in NBA history, but the bigger news here is that Brown was able to take the floor for the first time since suffering a facial fracture against the 76ers on Feb. 8. He missed the Celtics' final four games heading into the break but looks to be on track to be available when Boston resumes play Thursday at Indiana.

Brown (face) was selected by Team LeBron as the second pick among the reserves for Sunday's NBA All-Star Game, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown's status was up in the air heading into Sunday's matchup, but it appears as though he'll be available, and his early selection among the reserves is encouraging. However, it's certainly possible his playing time is monitored due to his facial fracture.

Brown (face) participated in a practice Saturday at the All-Star weekend in Salt Lake City, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Official word on Brown's status for Sunday's All-Star Game is murky after he missed the Celtics' final four games of the first half with a maxillary fracture after taking an inadvertent elbow to the face from teammate Jayson Tatum on Feb. 8, but the fact that the NBA hasn't yet named a replacement for Brown suggests he's on track to play in the exhibition. According to Washburn, Brown didn't require a mask to protect his face during Saturday's practice, though the session was only a light one and presumably didn't include much contact, if any. If Brown gets the green light to play Sunday, he should be poised to play his normal allotment of minutes when the Celtics open their post-All-Star-break schedule Thursday at Indiana.

Brown's (face) status will be updated next week, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown was re-evaluated Thursday, and there's not encouraging news to report. As expected, his absence could extend past the All-Star break, though the Celtics haven't officially ruled him out for that long. For the duration of Brown's absence, Malcolm Brogdon, Sam Hauser and Grant Williams could see more minutes.

Brown suffered a facial fracture in Wednesday's game against the 76ers and may be out through the All-Star break, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Brown exited Wednesday's game after being elbowed in the face. Although the superstar wng is set to undergo further evaluation Thursday, first reports indicate he may be sidelined throughout the All-Star break. If that were to be the case, Brown would be in line to miss four games and return on Feb. 23 at the earliest. We should receive more concrete information about the injury Thursday so fantasy managers should keep an eye on Brown's status. In the meantime, Malcolm Brogdon, Derrick White and Sam Hauser should see expanded roles.

Brown will not return to Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to a facial contusion, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest after being hit in the face. He will finish Wednesday's tilt with four points (2-9 FG), three assists and two rebounds in 18 minutes. Malcolm Brogdon and Sam Hauser are expected to see more action for the rest of Wednesday's game. Brown's next chance to play will come Friday against the Hornets.

Brown (illness) will be in uniform for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers.

Brown initially held a probable designation, so this outcome isn't an unexpected one. The star guard has tallied 22 or more points over his last six appearances and will look to pick up where he left off Wednesday in his return from a one-game absence.

Brown (illness) is probable to play Wednesday against the 76ers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown missed Monday's game with a minor illness, but it appears he's on track to return to the floor for Wednesday's matchup with Philadelphia. His return will likely translate to Sam Hauser heading back to the second unit and Derrick White's usage will dip.

Brown (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Pistons, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Brown was a late addition to the injury report Monday afternoon and will ultimately be sidelined versus Detroit due to an illness. In his absence, Malcolm Brogdon, Payton Pritchard and Grant Williams figure to garner increased roles, though Jayson Tatum will presumably dominate the playmaking opportunities when he's on the court.

Brown is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to a non-COVID illness.

Brown was a late addition to Monday's injury report, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to play against Detroit. He's been dominant since returning from a three-game absence in mid-January, averaging 25.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 38.9 minutes per game over his last seven appearances. If he's sidelined Monday, Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon will likely handle increased roles for Boston.

Brown accumulated 27 points (9-21 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 6-9 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 106-94 loss to the Suns.

Brown struggled from beyond the arc but still led the Celtics in scoring in what was a surprising loss. Efficiency issues aside, Brown has thrived as Boston's second-best offensive player behind Jayson Tatum, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 25.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals per contest across his last seven appearances.

Brown finished Saturday's 125-121 overtime win over the Lakers with 37 points (13-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes.

Brown was on his way to a more modest stat line heading into the final minute of regulation, but he piled on the scoring production in the clutch. He delivered a game-tying three-point play with 4.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter to force overtime, then padded on 11 points in the extra period to finish just four points shy of tying a season-high total. Brown's offense proved even more valuable in category leagues thanks to the efficient fashion in which he was able to achieve his scoring production. The improved form was a welcome sight after he converted just 40 percent of his field goals and 66.7 percent of his free-throw attempts in his first four games back from the groin injury that sidelined him for three straight contests earlier this month.

Brown totaled 22 points (8-22 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Thursday's 120-117 overtime loss to New York.

Brown was one of two Celtics players to score 20 or more points, finishing one rebound shy of posting a double-double. Brown has scored at least 20 points with five or more rebounds 31 times this season, including in five straight games.

Brown (thigh) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com

Brown missed Tuesday's game against Miami due to right adductor injury management but will be back in action following a one-game absence. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 23.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 40.0 minutes per game.

Brown will miss Tuesday's game versus the Heat due to right adductor injury management.

Given the phrasing and the number of teammates also sitting, it's likely just a rest night for Brown on Tuesday in the second game of a back-to-back set. He joins Marcus Smart (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (personal) sitting out, leaving the usual backcourt rotation barren. Payton Pritchard and Derrick White should see significant bumps in playing time as a result, and other irregulars also figure to see some minutes.

Brown logged 26 points (10-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 113-98 loss to the Magic.

The five made threes represented Brown's best showing from beyond the arc since the calendar flipped to 2023 -- he drained six against the Rockets on Dec. 27. The 26-year-old missed three games this month with a groin injury but has been productive when healthy, averaging 26.2 points, 6.6 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.6 threes and 0.9 steals through nine games in January.

Brown accumulated 27 points (10-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and three steals over 42 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 victory over the Raptors.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring and found success shooting from beyond the arc. He also made an impact as a passer, as he finished with his highest assist total since Dec. 5. Brown is averaging 26.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals over his last five contests.

Brown (groin) played 41 minutes and finished with 16 points (6-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in Thursday's 121-118 overtime win over the Warriors.

As his hefty minutes total suggests, Brown didn't face any limitations Thursday as he made his return from a three-game absence due to a sore right groin. Though the ugly shooting from the field and free-throw line sullied Brown's overall performance, he should return to his prior form once the groin injury is further in the rear-view mirror. In his first six games of January before the injury cropped up, Brown averaged 27.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.2 three-pointers per game while converting on 53.4 percent of his field goals and 75.7 percent of his free throws.

Brown (groin) will start in Thursday's game against the Warriors, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.

After missing the Celtics' last three contests with right groin soreness, Brown will return to his spot in the starting lineup, while Derrick White will return to the bench. With Brown back in the lineup, White and Sam Hauser could both see fewer minutes against Golden State on Thursday.

Brown (groin) will play in Thursday's game against the Warriors, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Brown has missed three consecutive contests due to soreness in his right groin but will be back in action for Thursday's NBA Finals rematch. He managed to log a full practice Wednesday which should give fantasy managers confidence that he can handle close to a full workload. Brown's return will steal minutes from Sam Hauser and Derrick White.

Brown (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against Golden State.

Brown was able to fully practice Wednesday, but he's still considered a question mark for Thursday's contest due to right adductor tightness, which has sidelined him for three straight games. He was initially expected to miss about a week, so he appears to be on track with his rehab and should return soon. Before his absence, Brown posted a season-high 41 points (15-21 FG) in a win over New Orleans.

Brown (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.

Brown has missed the last three games due to a right adductor strain that was expected to sideline him for approximately a week, but he's trending in the right direction. The Celtics haven't yet determined his status for Thursday's game against Golden State, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to game action soon.

Brown (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Hornets, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Brown will miss a third straight game due to a right adductor strain. The absence isn't surprising, as head coach Joe Mazzulla said Thursday that the All-Star forward would likely miss about a week of game action. In Brown's absence, Grant Williams figures to remain in Boston's starting lineup.

Brown (groin) won't play in Saturday's game versus Charlotte.

Coach Joe Mazzulla said Thursday he expects Brown to miss about a week of action with right adductor tightness. However, the Celtics seem to be treating the star guard as day-to-day. Grant Williams should remain in the starting lineup Saturday in his absence. Brown's next chance to suit up is Monday's rematch with Charlotte, although it appears unlikely he'll be able to play.

Brown (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Brooklyn and could miss a week, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown posted a season-high 41 points against the Pelicans on Wednesday but will be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set -- and potentially longer -- due to left adductor tightness. Sam Hauser and Malcolm Brogdon are candidates to see increased roles in Brown's absence.

Brown is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Celtics due to left adductor tightness, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown is questionable to miss his first game since Nov. 28. Malcolm Brogdon and Sam Hauser are candidates to see extended minutes if he's unable to suit up Thursday.

Brown closed with 41 points (15-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 12 rebounds and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 125-114 victory over the Pelicans.

Brown dominated the Pelicans in this one by hitting 71.4 percent of his field-goal attempts while also collecting his first double-double since Dec. 21 against the Pacers. The Cal product put up a season-high 41 points by drilling shots from all areas of the court, adding nine points from beyond the arc and eight from the free-throw line. Brown is averaging 27.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 blocks over his last six matchups.

Brown had 19 points (7-21 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 107-99 victory over the Bulls.

He and Jayson Tatum were the only two Celtics starters to even score in double digits, but a big night from Grant Williams off the bench provided just enough support for the team's dynamic duo. Since the beginning of December, Brown is averaging a strong 27.5 points, 7.4 boards, 3.1 assists, 2.7 threes and 1.2 steals, and the 26-year-old remains on track for a career-best campaign.

Brown amassed 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Thursday's 124-95 win over the Mavericks.

Brown went just 1-of-4 from the field in the first half, while also sinking both of his free-throw attempts for a total of four points. He then knocked down only one of three shot attempts in the third quarter before going 4-of-5 with nine points in the final period to help Boston close out the Mavericks. Brown finished second on the team in scoring with 19 points, though he saw his six-game streak with 25 or more points come to an end.

Brown finished Sunday's 123-111 loss to Denver with 30 points (12-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes.

Brown led the team in scoring, rebounds and shots made from deep, ending up two boards short of a double-double. Brown has tallied at least 30 points and five rebounds on 10 occasions this year.

Brown finished Tuesday's 126-102 win over the Rockets with 39 points (14-26 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 35 minutes.

Brown saw plenty of shot volume Tuesday set a season-high mark in the scoring column while also matching his best total of the year in steals. The 26-year-old wasn't able to generate much production in rebounds or assists, but it was still yet another solid performance. He's scored at least 25 points in five of his last seven appearances and has averaged 28.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.9 steals in 37.7 minutes per game across that span.

Brown notched 29 points (11-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 139-118 win over the Bucks.

Even though Brown is not as dominant on offense as Jayson Tatum, his role as one of the best second options in the league is completely entrenched, and his numbers back that up. Brown has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his December appearances and is averaging 27.4 points while shooting 46.4 percent from the field and 34 percent from deep in that 12-game span.

Brown produced 36 points (13-29 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 121-109 victory over the Timberwolves.

Brown posted his second-highest scoring total of the season Friday while attempting his most field-goal and three-point attempts. The star guard combined with Jayson Tatum for 66 points in Friday's victory.

Brown accumulated 19 points (8-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 loss to the Pacers.

The 26-year-old continues to crash the glass. Brown has seven double-doubles on the season, but five of them have come in the last 10 games -- a stretch in which he's averaging 26.4 points, 9.5 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.7 threes and 1.5 steals. The surge in rebounding has him up to 7.5 boards a game on the season, a mark that would shatter his previous career high of 6.4 set in 2019-20.

Brown posted 24 points (10-25 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 95-92 loss to the Magic.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring, rebounds, steals, blocks and shots made in Sunday's loss, tallying his sixth double-double of the season. Brown has averaged 25.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals over his last five contests.

Brown recorded 26 points (7-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to the Magic.

Brown scored 12 of his 26 points from beyond the arc, marking his most made threes in a game since Dec. 4 against the Nets. The 26-year-old turned in a strong fourth quarter, putting up 11 points to go along with Jayston Tatum's 10 fourth-quarter points, combining for 21 of his squad's 28 points in the final period. Brown is averaging 27.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals over his last eight matchups.

Brown produced 25 points (10-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and three steals over 43 minutes during Tuesday's 122-118 overtime victory over the Lakers.

The Celtics blew a big lead but managed to rally back and seal the win. Brown scored five of his 25 points in overtime, helping his team over the hump. Over his past five games, Brown has averaged 25.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

Brown produced 31 points (13-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-107 loss to the Warriors.

Brown racked up 16 points in the first half, 11 of which came in the second quarter on 5-of-7 shooting from the field as Boston tried to keep pace with the Warriors. The Celtics guard chipped in another 15 in the second half on 6-of-10 shooting, along with four rebounds and two assists but it wouldn't be enough to extend Boston's three-game winning streak. Brown has now eclipsed the 30-point mark 10 times this season while also collecting nine or more rebounds in three of his last five.

Brown chipped in 25 points (9-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 125-98 victory over the Suns.

Brown struggled from the field for most of the night, shooting a combined 25 percent in the first and final two quarters for 12 points. He did, however, lead Boston in scoring in the second quarter with 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting as the team jumped out to a massive lead at the break. Brown has scored at least 25 points in nine of his last 10 games while grabbing seven or more rebounds in five straight.

Brown closed Monday's 116-110 victory over the Raptors with 22 points (9-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists in 39 minutes.

Brown looked active on both ends of the court, and while he couldn't extend his double-double streak, it's worth noting that he ended just two boards and two assists shy from reaching a triple-double. Brown has also been remarkably consistent on offense, scoring at least 20 points in all but one appearance since the beginning of November.

Brown finished with 34 points (10-20 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 103-92 victory over the Nets.

Brown recorded his second straight double-double with at least 34 points scored and 10 rebounds Sunday. He got off to a fast start, making all five of his three-point attempts and scoring 20 points in the first quarter. He's up to 27.0 points per game while making 50.9 percent of his shot attempts and 35.8 percent of his three-point tries.

Brown nailed a game-tying three-pointer with 2.0 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. In the extra period, he scored four of Boston's six points. He has scored at least 20 points in 13 straight contests and is averaging 27.8 points while making 55.0 percent of his shot attempts in that span. His 37 points and 14 points Friday were both season-highs.

Brown amassed 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 134-121 victory over the Heat.

Brown returned after missing one game due to a neck injury, finishing second on the Celtics in scoring, rebounding and tied for second in assists in the win. Brown has tallied at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists four times this season.

Brown (neck) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Brown will return following a one-game absence. Across his past seven appearances, he's averaging 27.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 33.7 minutes.

Brown (neck) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Brown sat out Monday's win over the Hornets due to a sore neck, as did Al Horford (back), which prompted Grant Williams and Blake Griffin to start. If Brown is out again, Grant should remain in the starting five.

Brown (neck) will not play Monday against Charlotte, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports.

Brown was questionable coming into the day but will be held out on the second night of a back-to-back set. Jayson Tatum figures to take on even more offensive responsibility with Brown out, while Grant Williams, Sam Hauser and Derrick White could all benefit from his absence.

Brown is questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte.

Brown posted 36 points, five rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Sunday's win over Washington but is dealing with a stiff neck ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's unavailable Monday, Sam Hauser and Grant Williams would likely see increased roles.

Brown provided 31 points (13-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 win over the Mavericks.

Brown had an efficient shooting night and also recorded two steals, the fourth time he's done so over his last five games. He finished second on his team in scoring behind Jayson Tatum, who also turned in a stellar performance. Brown has put up 30 or more points three times so far in November over 10 matchups.

Brown totaled 27 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 117-109 win over the Pelicans.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring and rebounding during Friday's win, finishing three assists short of a triple-double. Brown tied a season-high mark in rebounds, having scored at least 20 points with five or more rebounds and five or more assists for the third time.

Brown racked up 22 points (10-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 126-101 victory over the Hawks.

Brown finished the game on a strong note, going a perfect 5-of-5 from the field for 10 points in the fourth quarter while also grabbing two steals in the final period as Boston ran away with the win. The Celtics guard had just 12 points coming into the final quarter on 5-of-12 shooting and was 0-for-5 from beyond the arc in the first half. He's scored 20 or more points in all but two games this season, though he's now just 1-for-11 from three over his last two contests. Brown also failed to record an assist on Wednesday for the first time all season.

Brown totaled 26 points (11-21 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Monday's 126-122 victory over Oklahoma City.

Brown returned following a one-game absence due to a left knee contusion, and he didn't show any rust en route to his fifth straight game with at least 20 points. The absence last Saturday against the Pistons was the first contest he missed in the entire campaign, so look for him to continue with his usual workload as one of Boston's main scoring threats. He will try to extend his streak of games with at least 20 points when the Celtics visit the Hawks on Wednesday.

Brown isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's matchup against the Thunder.

Brown was sidelined for Saturday's game due to a left knee contusion, but his absence can likely be attributed to rest as it appears he'll be back in the mix Sunday. Across 12 appearances, the veteran wing has averaged 25.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 36.4 minutes per game.

Brown (knee) will not take the floor for Saturday's meeting with the Pistons, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown will sit Saturday due to a left knee contusion, joining Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and Al Horford (back) on the sidelines. Derrick White is the favorite to enter the starting lineup while Sam Hauser is also likely to receive an expanded role. Brown's next chance to suit up will come on Monday against the Thunder.

Brown is considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pistons due to a left knee contusion.

Brown's availability for the contest will have major implications on the team's chances of picking up the win Saturday with Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and Al Horford (back) already ruled out. If Brown can't go, either Derrick White or Sam Hauser would likely join the starting five.

Brown finished with 30 points (11-19 FG, 2-6 3PT, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 win over Detroit.

Brown turned in his second 30-point performance in three games, and he managed to clean up his turnovers Wednesday evening after committing seven turnovers Monday against the Grizzlies. The California product has been close to numerous double-doubles so far this season, but he's only secured one in 11 contests.

Brown amassed 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 109-106 win over the Grizzlies.

Brown struggled with his three-point shot and committed a season-high seven turnovers but still scored at least 20 points for an eighth time across 10 appearances. The veteran forward also fell one rebound shy of his second double-double of the campaign. On the season, Brown is averaging 24.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists in 37.2 minutes per game.

Brown closed with 30 points (10-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 133-118 victory over the Knicks.

Brown has now dropped 30 points in two of his last three games while also racking up a handful of boards and a few assists along the way. He's scored somewhat efficiently from the field over this stretch (26-for-59) but has struggled from beyond the arc where he's shooting 37.5 percent since the start of November.

Brown (illness) will play in Friday's game versus the Bulls, Keith Smith of Spotrac reports.

Brown was listed as questionable due to a non-COVID illness but is now expected to play Friday. Brown has averaged 26.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks in 37.6 minutes across seven games this season. The All-Star guard should continue to start and be a high-volume scorer Friday.

Brown is now questionable for Friday's matchup against the Bulls due to a non-Covid illness, Chris Forsberg reports.

Brown's late addition to the injury report does not bode well for his Friday status, considering how close to tipoff he was downgraded. Considering Friday's game is the first of a back-to-back set, there is a legitimate chance Brown does not play against the Bulls.

Brown notched 30 points (10-26 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 45 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

After making eight of his first 15 shot attempts, Brown struggled in the fourth quarter and overtime, going just 2-for-11 and missing seven straight shots at one point. Over his last five games, he's made 38.1 percent of his shots and 30.7 percent of three-point tries and converted more than 40.0 percent of his shots in only one contest.

Brown totaled 24 points (7-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 112-94 victory over Washington.

Brown made his first four shots Sunday and scored 16 of his 24 points in the first quarter. He struggled from the floor after the strong start, making just three of his final 14 tries. It was his first double-double of the season and the 10 rebounds brought his season average up to 6.7. With the Celtics blowing out the Wizards, he was able to sit most of the fourth quarter and played less than 34 minutes for the first time this year.

Brown chipped in 32 points (11-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 43 minutes during Friday's 132-123 overtime loss to Cleveland.

Brown's 32 points led the team in scoring. It was his second game this season topping 30 points. Unfortunately, he also missed four free-throws and committed six turnovers on the night. The 26-year-old wing is averaging 25.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in his first five games of the season. Defensively, he is averaging 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks, which are both career-highs.

Brown provided 21 points (8-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Monday's 120-102 loss to the Bulls.

Brown is undoubtedly Boston's second-best scoring threat behind Jayson Tatum, but he was unable to show that in this one and struggled massively from the field -- he needed 23 shots just to score 21 points and also drained just two of his seven threes. Through four games, the biggest problem with Brown has been the lack of consistency on offense. He started the season with 35-point and 28-point performances, but he has followed that up with games in which he scored 12 and 21 points while shooting a meager 30.8 percent from the field. He'll try to bounce back when the Celtics take on the Cavaliers on Friday, and the extra days off might do wonders for him to get back to his best.

Brown finished with 28 points (12-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 111-104 win over the Heat.

Brown posted another strong shooting performance in Friday's victory over Miami, shooting 12-for-18 from the field while leading Boston in field goals made. Over his first two outings of the season, Brown is shooting 62.5 percent from the field and 50 percent from three.

Brown posted 35 points (14-24 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 126-117 win over Philadelphia.

Brown struggled from the field to start the game, missing six of his eight shot attempts and all four attempts from beyond the arc in the first quarter. He righted the ship in the second period, making his first five shots and tallying 14 points. He found his stroke again in the fourth quarter, making three three-pointers and scoring 13 more points. The 25-year-old shot 59.3 percent from the field and 51.9 percent on threes in the preseason and that solid shooting carried over into the season's first game.

Brown registered 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in a loss to Toronto on Wednesday.

Brown led Boston in scoring in the contest, as he did in the team's first preseason game when he scored 24 points. It's a promising start for the star forward after his scoring average and shooting percentage dipped slightly last season. Brown has nonetheless averaged over 20 points in each of his past three campaigns and figures to again be a solid option as a scorer and three-point producer for fantasy managers this season.

Brown notched 24 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Sunday's 134-93 win over the Hornets.

Brown led all starters in minutes and points, and in fact, the was the lone Boston player who surpassed the 20-point mark in this preseason debut. While he's expected to operate as Boston's second-best scoring threat behind Jayson Tatum, the former California standout should be one of the best shooting guards across all fantasy formats due to his scoring prowess and overall stat-filling ability.

Brown supplied a signature finals performance, but he and his teammates could not overcome Golden State. On a night where Boston supplied just five bench points, Brown was the only Celtic to exceed 20 points. The 25-year-old averaged 23.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 24 playoff contests.

Brown finished with 18 points (5-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 44 minutes during Monday's 104-94 loss to the Warriors in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Brown tied his series high with nine rebounds and dished four assists, but he had a hard time getting shots to fall all game, finishing with a 5-for-18 mark from the field and missing all five of his three-point attempts. Nearly half of his 18 points came from the charity stripe, from which he went 8-for-10. Brown is shooting just 40.9 percent overall in the series, though he ranks second on Boston with 21.4 points per game through five contests.

Brown supplied 27 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 116-100 win over the Warriors in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Jayson Tatum couldn't get things going offensively in the contest, finishing with just 12 points on 3-for-17 shooting. Brown stepped up to provide plenty of offense with 24 points, and he rounded out his strong line with seven rebounds, five assists and two steals. He also scored 24 points in the series-clinching Game 7 victory against Miami in the Eastern Conference Finals, and Brown has shown the ability to step up when Tatum struggles. In three games when the latter has scored 12 or fewer points in the postseason, Brown is averaging 30.3 points.

Brown fouled out of Friday's 111-103 loss to the Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals after recording 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals over 41 minutes.

Brown reached the 20-point mark for the fifth time in the series, but he fouled out and the Celtics certainly missed him down the stretch. Boston will need him at his best if the Celtics want to pull the upset in Game 7 and secure a spot in the Finals to face the Warriors. Brown has been key for the Celtics on offense and is averaging 24.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the current series against the Heat.

Brown closed Wednesday's 93-80 win over the Heat in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 25 points (10-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 40 minutes.

Brown bounced back from a 5-for-20 shooting performance in Game 4 to lead Boston in scoring in the Game 5 victory. He went an efficient 10-for-19 from the field and knocked down 5-of-9 tries from three-point range. Brown wasn't a big contributor in other areas, but he has scored 24 or more points in four of the five contests in the series thus far and has helped the Celtics climb to within one win of a trip to the NBA Finals.

Brown closed Saturday's 109-103 loss to the Heat in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 40 points (14-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-12 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 42 minutes.

Jayson Tatum didn't have a good performance but Brown managed to carry the Celtics on offense, and even though his efforts were not good enough to give his team a 2-1 lead in the series, this was an excellent outing from an individual perspective. Brown has scored at least 24 points in each game of the current series against the Heat.

Brown totaled 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Thursday's 127-102 victory over the Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown racked up 24 points (7-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 loss to the Heat in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Brown notched his second 20-point, double-double of the playoffs, but it wasn't enough as the Celtics fumbled a double-digit halftime lead. Brown has been a consistent producer for Boston during the playoffs, but if Marcus Smart (foot) and Al Horford (COVID-19 protocols) remain sidelined for Game 2, they'll need him to reach superstar status to avoid a 2-0 hole.

Brown closed Friday's 108-95 victory over Milwaukee in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 22 points (7-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 41 minutes.

Brown supplied a central offensive effort, while co-leading Boston in assists and rebounds. The Celtics were minus-13 in rebounding margin, and Brown, specifically, has been picked on by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Nonetheless, Brown has averaged a stout 22.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists through nine playoff contests.

Brown totaled 27 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 40 minutes during Saturday's 103-101 loss to Milwaukee.

With Jayson Tatum (10 points, 4-for-19 shooting) enduring a rare poor performance, Brown largely carried the slack with his team-leading 27 points.

Brown put up 30 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3PT, 2-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block in Tuesday's 109-86 win over Milwaukee.

Brown produced 12 points (4-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 101-89 loss to the Bucks.

Brown was experiencing tightness in his left hamstring during the Celtics' opening-round sweep of the Nets, but the All-Star caliber forward was expected to be full-go during Game 1. While that may have been true, it appeared like Brown wasn't himself, though that could certainly be attributed to Milwaukee's elite defense. Brown will look to bounce back Tuesday during Game 2.

Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Brown (hamstring) won't have a minutes restriction during Sunday's Game 1 against the Bucks, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown was experiencing tightness in his left hamstring during the Celtics' opening-round sweep of the Nets, and Udoka said the issue could affect him throughout the second-round matchup with Milwaukee. However, the All-Star caliber wing isn't listed on the injury report and is expected to garner his usual workload in Game 1. During the opening-round sweep, Brown averaged 22.5 points, 4.3 assists and 2.5 steals in 38.8 minutes per game.

Brown (hamstring) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's Game 1 against the Bucks, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown dealt with left hamstring tightness following Boston's first-round series against the Nets, but he's looked good in practice recently and will be available to begin the second round. While coach Ime Udoka said Thursday that the injury could impact Brown throughout the second round, the 25-year-old will attempt to build upon his first-round performance in which he averaged 22.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.5 steals in 38.8 minutes per game.

Brown is experiencing left hamstring tightness but is expected to play in Game 1 against the Bucks on Sunday.

Coach Ime Udoka said Thursday that Brown's injury could impact him throughout the team's second-round series against Milwaukee, but he's expected to play through the issue.

Brown recorded 23 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 win over the Nets.

The one-two punch of Brown and Jayson Tatum continues to befuddle the Brooklyn defense. He's in the midst of an excellent series against the Nets, and he's scored 23 points for the second time in three games. Although he only converted on three-pointer, his mid-range jumper was on point. The standout swing man converted 56.2 percent of his shot attempts.

Brown delivered 22 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists, four rebounds and three steals over 39 minutes in Wednesday's 114-107 Game 2 win.

Brown's 10 points in the fourth quarter sparked Boston's comeback win. His three steals were also part of a collective team defensive effort that held Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to 8-of-30 shooting. The series now heads to Brooklyn for two games, with Game 3 on Saturday night.

Brown delivered 23 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five boards, three assists, four steals and two blocks with only two turnovers in 40 minutes of run in Sunday's 115-114 Game 1 win.

Brown hit a crucial three-pointer when Boston was down five near the end of the fourth quarter. He was part of an attacking Celtic defense that stopped Brooklyn on their last three possessions. Brown also started the passing frenzy that led to Tatum's game winner. Expect Brown to continue to see monster minutes in Game 2 on Wednesday in Boston.

Brown closed with 22 points (8-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 127-121 loss to Milwaukee.

With Jayson Tatum (knee) sidelined, Brown took the lead for the Celtics offensively by scoring 20-plus points for an 11th straight game and dishing out a season-high 11 assists en route to his second career triple-double.

As expected, Brown will be available to face the Bulls on Wednesday after back-to-back 32-point performances against the Pacers and the Wizards, respectively, to start the month of April. He's averaging 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists over 33.7 minutes per game this season.

Brown (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game at Chicago.

There's no reason to believe Brown is dealing with a real injury, but the Celtics may be laying the foundation for him to potentially sit out one half of the upcoming Wednesday/Thursday back-to-back set.

Brown registered 32 points (12-17 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 144-102 victory over Washington.

Brown will not play Monday at Toronto due to right knee tendinopathy.

This amounts to a rest day for Brown, who will join Jayson Tatum (rest), Al Horford (personal) and Robert Williams (knee) as four of Boston's regular starters who won't be available. The Celtics are playing on the second half of a back-to-back after dispatching the Timberwolves on Sunday evening. Expect Brown to return to action for Wednesday's showdown against the Heat.

Brown (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown was considered probable for Sunday's contest due to a sore right knee, so it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up Sunday. The 25-year-old has averaged 27.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steal sin 33.6 minutes over the past five games.

Brown is dealing with right knee soreness but is still expected to play Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Brown posted a very similar stat line to Jayson Tatum's one, as both players ended with 26 points and three rebounds.

The uptick in efficiency is being particularly helpful for fantasy managers who have the former California star rostered.

Brown (ankle) returned from injury just in time to play a solid Robin to Jayson Tatum's 54-point Batman. Brown hit a clutch three late in the 4th quarter to virtually nail down the win for Boston. Brown's three steals also led the Celtics. If the wing's ankle was sore, it certainly wasn't apparent as he looked solid throughout his 35 minutes of play.

Brown (ankle) will be available for Sunday's contest against the Nets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Brown will return following a one-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Before the injury, the forward had scored 20-plus points in four of Boston's last five contests and averaged 25.6 points, 4.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds during that stretch.

Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Brown (ankle) will be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Nets, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Brown missed Thursday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain, but he'll have a chance to return against Brooklyn. Payton Pritchard and Grant Williams should see increased playing time if Brown remains out.

Brown (ankle) is out Thursday against the Grizzlies.

Brown missed practice Wednesday, and he'll officially be forced to miss at least one game after spraining his ankle in Tuesday's win over Atlanta. While coach Ime Udoka doesn't believe that Brown's injury is a long-term concern, Aaron Nesmith, Payton Pritchard and Grant Williams could see additional playing time against Memphis.

Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Brown (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday and is unlikely to play Thursday against the Grizzlies, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown suffered the injury early in the first quarter of Tuesday's win over the Hawks and never returned to the contest. Udoka added that he believes the issue is "nothing long term," but fantasy managers should still monitor his status closely. In his expected absence, Aaron Nesmith, Payton Pritchard and Grant Williams are all candidates for increased roles.

Brown (ankle) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown suffered the injury early in the first quarter of Tuesday's game on a drive to the basket. The full extent of the injury may be announced in the coming days after team doctors get a better look, but Brown should certainly be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies. If he's forced to miss any time, more minutes could be in store for Aaron Nesmith, Payton Pritchard and Grant Williams.

Brown suffered a lower body injury during the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Hawks and walked to the locker room, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Karalis notes that Brown's hands went to his right hamstring when he went down to the ground, but it's not clear if it's for certain a hamstring injury. More information should arrive once team doctors get a chance to check him out.

Brown closed Sunday's 128-107 loss to the Pacers with 23 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 35 minutes.

Brown was Boston's most productive scorer, with Jayson Tatum struggling to the tune of 7-for-22 from the field. Although solid from beyond the arc Sunday, Brown has regressed to a 34.7 percent clip from deep this season, despite a career-high 5.0 attempts per game. Connecting on just 27.3 of his treys over 11 February contests, Brown will look to improve that figure against a Hawks team ranked in the league's bottom-third for opponent three-point shooting.

Brown closed with 18 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), one rebound, six assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 129-106 win over the Nets.

Brown struggled a bit from the three-point line on Thursday, but his 18 points were good enough for second on the team in scoring behind only Jayson Tatum (30 points). There was some initial concern when Brown came up grabbing his left wrist after landing on it during the fourth quarter, but it sounds like it wasn't anything serious. The 25-year-old is averaging 23.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals across 23.6 minutes per game this season.

Brown went off for 29 points (10-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes Tuesday in Boston's 135-87 win over Philadelphia.

He and co-star Jayson Tatum (28 points) made quick work of the 76ers, with the two combining to go 9-for-15 from three-point range to help turn the game into a runaway by halftime. Brown supplied 26 of his points in the first half and was able to finish with an impressive line in just three quarters of action. He'll look to keep rolling in the Celtics' final game before the All-Star break Wednesday versus Detroit.

Brown accumulated 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Sunday's 105-95 victory over Atlanta.

Brown remained consistent on the scoreboard Sunday and came within one rebound of a double-double in the win. He's had double-digit field-goal attempts in each of his appearances this season and has recorded at least five rebounds in each of his last six outings.

Brown had 22 points (9-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 126-91 victory over Brooklyn.

Brown flirted with a triple-double in Tuesday's blowout win over the shorthanded Nets. After dealing with early-season absences, he's gone on to appear in 29 straight games.

Brown totaled 26 points (10-22 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 116-83 win over the Magic.

Brown led all scorers with 26 points, including a thunderous dunk over Mo Bamba. That really was the highlight of the night, with the Magic succumbing early as the Celtics piled on the pressure. Brown has been solid enough this season, although managers will certainly be hoping he can stay healthy the rest of the way, as he looks to help push the team higher in the standings.

Brown totaled 13 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 34 minutes during Friday's 102-93 win over the Pistons.

Over his last two games, Brown has 10 turnovers and is shooting just 14.3 percent from beyond the arc. The sixth-year forward is averaging 23.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.5 minutes per game, but he wasn't named as an Eastern Conference All-Star -- to the dismay of Boston natives. Despite the struggles, Brown is expected to bounce back in a big way, but fantasy managers have to hope the slump doesn't continue through the All-Star break. The Celtics have six remaining games before the break, including four against teams currently in the playoff picture, so Boston will need Brown at his best for the upcoming two-week stretch.

Brown logged 31 points (11-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 win over the Pelicans.

Although Jayson Tatum started the scoring barrage for Boston, it didn't take long for Brown to get rolling, as he enjoyed an accurate shooting night. Brown's three-point game has been on point in recent days, draining 15 treys over the past four games.

Brown finished Tuesday's 128-75 victory over the Kings with 30 points (11-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes.

Brown was one of two Celtics that scored at least 30 points -- with Jayson Tatum being the other -- as Boston raced out to an impressive 53-point win over Sacramento, the largest home win in franchise history. Brown has now scored 20 or more points in four of his last five games and has also recorded back-to-back double-doubles.

Brown closed with 21 points (9-20 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Hornets.

The All-Star guard was effective from two-point range, going 7-9 from that area, but shot an abysmal 18 percent from deep on his 11 three-point attempts during Wednesday's defeat. Regardless, Brown is doing a decent job scoring as of recent for Boston and has reached 20 points in six out of his last seven appearances. The 25-year-old is averaging 23.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game over that seven-game span. Brown remains a rock-solid option in fantasy lineups going forward.

Brown produced 23 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 104-92 victory over the Pelicans.

Brown tied Jayson Tatum with a team-high eight rebounds and scored 20-plus points for the fifth time in his last six games. On the season, the star wing is averaging 24.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.7 minutes per game. When healthy, he's one of the most consistent and reliable players in the league.

Brown provided 19 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-112 victory over Chicago.

Brown wasn't the most efficient scorer Saturday and missed all five of his three-point shots, but he still delivered a solid stat line due to his versatility. The former California standout saw his streak of games with 20-plus points end at four contests, but he's still averaging 27.3 points per game across eight January appearances.

Brown totaled 34 points (11-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 victory over the Pacers.

In a two-game sweep of Indianapolis, Brown totaled 60 points on 22-of-45 shooting. Averaging a career-high usage rate this season, Brown is responding well to the extra run. On a notable hot streak, he will face arguably the hottest player in basketball, Joel Embiid, in a duel with Philadelphia on Friday.

Brown totaled 26 points (11-26 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one block in 44 minutes during Monday's 101-98 overtime win over Indiana.

Brown was electric again Monday. He led the Celtics with 26 points and has been at the level of co-star Jayson Tatum (24 points) of late. Brown, who is averaging a career-high 3.2 turnovers per game, also recorded zero Monday. Continuing what has been a string of stellar outings, Brown is averaging 28.0 points and 9.9 rebounds over his past seven games.

Brown delivered 26 points (11-26 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and zero turnovers over 44 minutes in Monday's 101-98 OT home win over the Pacers.

Brown's 44 minutes led the team and made his zero turnovers that much more impressive. Boston let yet another lead dissolve in the fourth quarter, yet eked it out in overtime. Brown's clutch shooting and strong ball movement was crucial for the Celtics to pull this one out. The C's now travel to Indiana for a rematch on Wednesday.

Brown accumulated 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 99-75 victory over the Knicks.

Brown was the only Boston player to hit the 20-point mark in the contest, and he did so on an efficient 15 shots. The star guard added team-leading totals of 11 boards and 11 assists to finish with his first career triple-double. Brown has scored at least 20 points in 11 of his past 12 games and is averaging 27.5 points per contest over that span.

Brown chipped in 30 points (12-25 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 99-97 loss to San Antonio.

Brown followed up his season-high 50-point performance with his 10th straight game with at least 20 points and is averaging 29.2 points and 7.4 rebounds during that stretch. The 6-foot-6 forward remains one of the top fantasy options in all formats.

Brown had 50 points (19-29 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 46 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 overtime win over Orlando.

Brown scored 21 points in the fourth quarter, speaking a late rally to bring the Celtics back from a significant deficit going into the final stanza. Brown became the fourth player in Celtics history to post 50 points and 10 rebounds in a single game, joining luminaries like Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and teammate Jayson Tatum.

Brown delivered 24 points (8-20 FG, 3-9 FG, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes in Friday's 123-108 home win over the Suns.

Brown also committed six turnovers. The star wing hasn't quite yet returned to form, despite playing in eight games after his five-game absence (hamstring). Regardless, Brown was a key component in the upset win and helped Boston end their three game losing streak. Brown's 11 boards tied Robert Williams for the team lead. Expect Brown to continue shooting 20-plus shots per game while Jayson Tatum is out due to COVID-19 protocols.

Brown contributed 30 points (13-36 FG, 1-13 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds and two steals over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 91-82 loss to the Clippers.

With Jayson Tatum out due to COVID-19 protocols, the Celtics looked to no other than Brown to lead their offense, and though it came with a hefty price tag, he delivered. It was the forward's sixth time reaching at least the 30-point mark, as Brown also nearly finished with a double-double. The former California product is currently second on the Celtics in scoring behind Tatum and is fifth in rebounding.

Brown posted 26 points (8-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 8-13 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block over 39 minutes during Monday's 108-103 loss to the Timberwolves.

Brown is one of Boston's best offensive threats when the team is at full strength, so it shouldn't be surprising to see him pacing the team in scoring when they're shorthanded and with names such as Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) sidelined. Brown has scored 20 or more points in six games in a row.

Brown delivered 34 points (12-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 home win over the Cavaliers.

It was an efficient night for Brown, who was fantastic in his fifth game back after his absence due to a hamstring injury. Brown's Celtics got off to a big lead early and held on for the W. Brown, Jayson Tatum and Robert Williams all had a fairly easy time in the paint with Cleveland missing both Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley due to Covid-19. The C's now travel to Milwaukee to face the Bucks on Christmas day.

Brown recorded 30 points (9-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 108-103 loss to the 76ers.

Despite shooting 39.5 percent on 43 attempt over his previous two games, Brown has been ramping up production. Fantasy managers can be encouraged by his 10 free throws, as Brown was aggressive with the ball throughout Monday's contest. He'll look to continue heating up Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Brown (hamstring) will return for Monday's game against the Bucks, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown has missed five straight games due to a hamstring injury but will make his return Monday night against the Bucks. Brown has already missed 14 games this season, including a win over the Bucks back on Nov. 12. The 25-year-old has averaged 21.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game this year and will look to stay healthy for the long run as he finally returns to the floor.

Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.

Brown will miss a fifth straight game due to a nagging hamstring injury. Brown has missed 12 of the team's last 17 games overall and will hope to return at some point next week with three games on the schedule.

Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown has been participating in workouts recently, but he'll be forced to miss a fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. Dennis Schroder will likely remain in the starting lineup Wednesday.

Brown (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's contest against the Lakers, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Coach Ime Udoka said Brown has a good workout Tuesday, but the team will continue to be cautious with him. Udoka also added that he isn't sure whether Brown will be back during the Celtics' current road tip, which has two games remaining after the matchup with the Lakers. Dennis Schroder is expected to continue drawing starts during Brown's absence.

Brown (rest) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Lakers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Ime Udoka said Monday that the Celtics want to get Brown to 100 percent with his hamstring situation before thrusting him back into extended minutes so that it doesn't linger any longer than it already has. The initial injury caused the star forward to miss eight games between Nov. 6 and Nov. 20, and he has since missed two straight contests due to injury maintenance.

Brown (injury maintenance) remains out Saturday against the Trail Blazers, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown will sit out a second straight game while recovering from a recent hamstring injury that caused him to miss eight games between Nov. 6 and Nov. 20. Al Horford (back) is also sidelined.

Brown (hamstring injury management) is out Friday against the Jazz.

Brown has struggled since returning from a hamstring injury. In his past five games, he's shot just 39.4 percent from the field and 29.6 percent from three. He'll get Friday's game off, which is the front end of a back-to-back. The Celtics play the Trail Blazers on Saturday. In Brown's absence, more minutes should be available for Josh Richardson, Grant Williams, Romeo Langford and others.

Brown ended with nine points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 88-87 win over the 76ers.

It's only the second time in 13 games this season Brown has failed to score in double figures. The 25-year-old was expected to play about 30 minutes after facing harsher restrictions in his first four games back from the hamstring injury, so it was a good sign to see him play 33 minutes Wednesday. Brown has yet to get fully back on track since rejoining the lineup and has averaged 14.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 39.4 percent from the field.

Brown (hamstring) will be active for Wednesday's contest against the 76ers but will be on a 32-minute restriction, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republicanreports.

The star wing will now make his fifth straight appearance after coming back from a hamstring injury. Brown is yet to top 30 minutes in his first four games back, but he will have his minute restriction increased Wednesday. In that four-game span, he's averaging 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 threes in 25.3 minutes.

Brown is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Sixers due to his hamstring injury management program, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

The good news for fantasy managers is that Brown has not suffered a setback, but he may be sidelined Wednesday as he strategically deals with his return from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss eight games. In his four games back, Brown is averaging 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.3 minutes per game. If he is unable to play against the Sixers, then Dennis Schroder will likely join the starting lineup once again.

Brown (rest) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Brown was questionable for Sunday's matchup due to injury management, but he'll be able to suit up for the Celtics. Across his last three appearances, he's averaged 16.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game.

Brown is questionable against the Raptors on Sunday due to injury management, per Jared Weiss of The Athletic.

There is a chance Brown sits out so that he rests his previously injured right hamstring. If unavailable, a returning Josh Richardson (illness) could start against the Raptors.

Brown posted 16 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 96-88 loss to the Spurs.

Brown upped his playing time in the loss, ending with a serviceable 16 points. He is making his way back from a hamstring injury, something that can linger beyond a specific return date. He is likely to be questionable for the foreseeable future, meaning fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on the injury report to ensure his availability.

Brown (injury management) will be active for Friday's contest against the Spurs.

The 25-year-old made has appeared in two contests for the Celtics since missing eight straight games due to a hamstring injury. Brown has been on a minute restriction during his two appearances and has averaged 16.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per contest during that span. The California product will continue to see himself used more by the Celtics as he gets back to 100 percent.

Coach Ime Udoka said Friday that Brown (injury management) will see the length of his stints on the court slowly increased over the coming games, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown played 23 and 24 minutes, respectively, in his first two games back, but he is expected to see that increased over the next couple of games. The 2016 first-round pick is still listed as questionable for Friday's contest at San Antonio, but Udoka's comments suggest Brown will be available, barring a setback.

Brown (conditioning) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Brown has played in each of the last two games, but the Celtics are apparently still concerned about his conditioning following an eight-game absence due to a strained hamstring. If he does play, he could again be on a soft minutes limit after being limited to 23 and 24 minutes, respectively, in his first two games back.

Brown (injury management) is available Wednesday against the Nets, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

There was a chance Brown would rest due to his recent hamstring injury, but he'll appear in a second straight game. He played well in his return. In 23 minutes, he recorded 19 points, three rebounds, one steal and one block.

Brown (injury management) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Nets.

Making his return to the court after an eight-game absence due to a strained hamstring, Brown scored 19 points in just 23 minutes of action Monday. The star forward was under a minutes restriction during the contest, and the Celtics are likely to be very cautious not to rush him back too quickly, which is likely why he is listed as questionable for Wednesday. If he is unable to suit up, then Marcus Smart and Dennis Schroder would be the most likely beneficiaries.

Brown registered 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 108-90 win over the Rockets.

Making his return to the court after an eight-game absence due to a strained hamstring, Brown didn't miss a beat, drilling three three-pointers and finishing as a plus-21 in just 23 minutes of action. The blowout scenario may have played a role in Brown's limited workload, but he was expected to face a minutes restriction either way. With a day off Tuesday, the hope is that he'll be back in full capacity for Wednesday's home matchup against Kevin Durant, James Harden and the Nets.

Brown will be limited to approximately 24 minutes in Monday's game against the Rockets, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown missed the last eight contests with a strained hamstring, so it isn't very surprising to see him on a minutes restriction Monday. Since the 25-year-old's playing time will be monitored, Josh Richardson (illness) and Marcus Smart could see expanded roles against Houston.

Brown (hamstring) will return for Monday's game against the Rockets.

As expected, Brown will be back in the lineup as he makes his return from an eight-game absence due to a strained hamstring. Prior to the injury, Brown was off to an excellent start, putting up 26.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.9 threes through his seven healthy games. Given the multi-week layoff, Brown could have a soft minutes limit Monday, but he can be safely deployed in weekly lineup leagues as Boston enters a four-game Week 6.

Brown (hamstring) is probable against the Rockets on Monday.

Brown sat out the Celtics' previous eight games because of a strained hamstring. When he returns, Dennis Schroder will play off their bench again. Brown averaged 25.6 points -- the team's best -- on a 49.3 field goal percentage across his previous eight games.

Brown (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Saturday's tilt against the Thunder, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown's absence will be his eighth straight, while he continues to nurse a hamstring injury. Thus, Dennis Schroder (ankle) and Marcus Smart figure to continue seeing extra usage on offense, while the likes of Grant Williams and Josh Richardson could see some more minutes. The 25-year-old's next chance to return will come Monday versus the Rockets.

Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Brown was considered questionable but will be sidelined for the seventh consecutive contest. It remains to be seen whether the 25-year-old will be available for the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday versus the Thunder.

Brown (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Brownhas missed the last six games due to his hamstring injury, but he has a chance to return for Friday's home matchup. If he's unavailable once again, Dennis Schroder, Grant Williams and Josh Richardson should see increased work.

Brown (hamstring) will not be available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

This will be the sixth consecutive absence for Brown, who the Celtics hoped would be able to return during their three-game road trip, which concludes Wednesday night. Thursday will mark two full weeks since Brown's last appearance (Nov. 4 at Miami), so he'll likely be considered day-to-day going forward. His next chance to take the floor will come Friday against the Lakers, as the Celtics begin a four-game homestand.

Brown (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Cavaliers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown is set to miss his fifth straight game due to hamstring tightness he suffered last week. Head coach Ime Udoka mentioned Brown had a chance to return at some point during the team's road trip, meaning there's a real chance he could be back on the floor Wednesday against the Hawks.

Brown (hamstring) is out Saturday against the Cavaliers.

Brown will unsurprisingly remain out Saturday, but coach Ime Udoka implied he could return at some point during the road trip. The Celtics' next game is Monday against the Cavaliers.

Brown (hamstring) will join the Celtics on the team's upcoming road trip and coach Ime Udoka has not ruled out the possibility of him playing, Clevis Murray of The Athletic reports.

It seems unlikely that Brown will play Saturday in Cleveland. However, Monday against the Cavaliers or Wednesday against the Hawks is in line with the early end of his return timetable. It's possible we learn more in the coming days, but fantasy managers in weekly lineup leagues may have a tough decision to make.

Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Brown (hamstring) is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Udoka essentially confirmed what was rumored to be the likely recovery timeline for Brown, who was held out of Saturday's loss to Dallas with the strained right hamstring. Brown can safely be ruled out for all three of Boston's Week 4 contests, and fantasy managers may have to prepare for him to miss at least part of the team's four-game Week 5 slate as well.

Brown (hamstring) may miss a couple of weeks, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown has only been officially ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, but it's possible we don't see him again until later in November. More tests are likely needed to determine the full extent of his injury. We'll at least get to see how the Celtics' rotation plays out Saturday before most fantasy leagues have waiver claims go through Sunday or Monday. Dennis Schroder and Grant Williams are the two non-starters that have seen the most time on the court with Brown off. That said, there could be increased opportunities for Romeo Langford, Payton Pritchard and Aaron Nesmith as well.

Brown (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's matchup against Dallas.

Brown injured his hamstring near the end of the third quarter during Thursday's win over Miami. It appears that the Celtics will take no chance at all rushing back Brown, as the team was quick to rule him out for the remainder of Thursday's contest and now Saturday. With a three-day break next week though, the forward may be able to return to the lineup Wednesday against Toronto. With Josh Richardson (foot) also banged up currently, Romeo Langford is a prime candidate to see increased minutes Saturday versus the Mavericks.

Brown went back to the locker room at the end of the third quarter Thursday against the Heat due to hamstring tightness and will not return, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports.

Brown appears to have avoided a major injury but was quickly ruled out for the rest of Thursday's contest with the Celtics leading the heat by double-digits. The 6-6 guard was leading his team at the time with 17 points (5-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and two assists through 29 minutes of action. His next chance to play will be Saturday against the Mavericks..

Brown put up 28 points (10-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Wednesday's win over Orlando.

Brown has now scored 28 points in back-to-back games while putting up over 25 points in three games in a row, so it's safe to say his early-season inconsistencies are becoming a thing of the past. If Brown is indeed recovered from those struggles -- that were admittedly related to him contracting COVID-19 -- then Brown can be relied on to be one of Boston's go-to players on offense, as it was the expectation in the preseason. The former California standout is averaging 26.9 points per game while shooting 50.7 percent from the field.

Brown recorded 28 points (10-18 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Monday's loss to the Bulls.

Brown struggled massively with consistency in his first four games of the season and he even admitted he was struggling to recover after each game following his COVID-19 diagnosis, but those issues might be in the rearview now considering that he has scored at least 28 points in three of his last four games. While expecting nearly 30 points per game might be a stretch considering Brown shares most of the offensive load with another high-scoring player in Jayson Tatum, his role as one of Boston's go-to players is not under any sort of threat. He's averaging 26.7 points per game while shooting 49.6 percent from the field -- both figures would be career-high marks for him.

Brown registered 30 points (12-20 FG, 3-7 3PT, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 38 minutes Monday against the Hornets.

Brown was initially listed as questionable with a knee injury heading into the day, but he gained clearance to play and made a huge impact, falling just one rebound short of a double-double. He turned in an efficient shooting night, drilling 60 percent of his field goals and three shots from downtown. Brown's health will be worth monitoring heading into Wednesday's matchup with Washington.

Brown (knee) will be available for Monday's game against Charlotte but will likely have his workload capped "in the 30-minute range," per head coach Ime Udoka.

After sitting out Sunday night's win at Houston with tendinopathy in his left knee, Brown will return to action on the second half of the back-to-back set. He'll have a soft minutes limit, but it doesn't sound like Brown's minutes load will be dramatically affected. Playing without Al Horford (hip), the Celtics will start Brown and Jayson Tatum at the forward spots while Dennis Schroder, Marcus Smart and Robert Williams round out the starting five.

The Celtics list Brown (knee) as questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown was sidelined for the front end of the back-to-back set Sunday in Houston due to left patella tendinopathy, but head coach Ime Udoka expressed confidence that the knee issue was only a minor concern for the sixth-year wing. Even if that's the case, Brown shouldn't be viewed as a lock to play Monday, and fantasy managers considering activating him during the Celtics' three-game week will want to check back in on his status ahead of the 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Dennis Schroder entered the starting five in place of Brown in Sunday's 107-97 win and produced 18 points, five boards, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes.

Brown (knee) will not play Sunday against the Rockets but hopes to play Monday at Charlotte.

It sounds like Brown's absence from Sunday's game is only precautionary, and coach Ime Udoka said the dynamic wing will rest Sunday with the hope that he can take the floor for the second half of the back-to-back set. The Celtics will start Dennis Schroder alongside Marcus Smart in the backcourt Sunday in Brown's absence.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Brown is dealing with left patella tendinopathy, a minor injury that isn't expected to cost him much time. In fact, Brown's absence may just be the result of the Celtics beginning a back-to-back set, so the 25-year-old could be ready to go for Monday's game in Charlotte. Josh Richardson and Dennis Schroder will likely pick up some extra run Sunday with Brown sidelined.

Brown is questionable against the Rockets on Sunday because of a knee injury.

Brown is suffering from patella tendinopathy concerning his left knee and will have about a day to recover before the Celtics' game at Houston.

Brown boomed for 46 points (16-30 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block in 46 minutes Wednesday, but the Celtics' fell to the Knicks 138-134 in double overtime.

Brown and Jayson Tatum each fired 30 shots in the shootout, and it was Brown who easily led the way in production. He showed no lingering signs of a recently-concluded battle with COVID-19. The 24-year-old was firing on all cylinders and should be locked into all lineups.

Brown (COVID-19 protocols) will play and start in Wednesday's opener against the Knicks, Clevis Murray of The Athletic reports.

Brown returned a positive COVID-19 test in early October, but he's passed through the necessary protocols and will play in the opener. The Celtics will be without Al Horford (COVID-19 protocols), however, vaulting Grant Williams into the starting five.

Brown (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.

Last week, the Celtics expressed optimism that Brown would be good to go following a positive COVID-19 test during the preseason, but it looks like his status is still up in the air with Opening Night just over 24 hours away. Brown officially passed through the league's protocols, so if he's ultimately held out, it would likely be due to conditioning concerns.

Brown (COVID-19) is expected to be available for the Celtics regular season opener, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports.

After testing positive for COVID-19 earlier in October, coach Ime Udoka expects that Brown will be available for the team's Oct. 20 opener against the Knicks. The 24-year-old averaged a career-high 24.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 34.5 minutes per game last season and looks to remain as a strong fantasy option in all formats this year as well. If Brown is ruled out for the opener, Josh Richard, Romeo Langford and Aaron Nesmith are all candidates to start for the Celtics.

Brown tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown is asymptomatic, but he'll have to spend time away from the team while he's in quarantine. A timetable for his return hasn't yet been established, but Josh Richardson and Aaron Nesmith are in line for increased roles while the 24-year-old is sidelined.

Brown finished Monday's preseason win over the Magic with 25 points (8-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.

The Celtics' starters sat most of the second half, but 26 minutes was enough for Brown to have a productive all-around night. He hit just four of his game-high 12 attempts from beyond the arc, but Brown's aggressiveness is a positive sign given that he was still bothered by his surgically repaired wrist heading into training camp.

Brown (wrist) will be fully available to start training camp, Abby Chin of NBC Sports Boston.

Brown's status was somewhat in question after he revealed last week that his wrist was still healing following a surgical procedure back in mid-May. However, the star forward will not face any limitations when training camp begins Tuesday, which is an ultra-encouraging sign for a Celtics team hoping to bounce back from a disappointing 2020-21 campaign. On an individual basis, however, Brown had the best season of his career, averaging 24.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.8 three-pointers per game. As he heads into his sixth NBA season, Brown's fantasy value is at an all-time high.

Brown (wrist) indicated this week that he's still working toward full health after undergoing wrist surgery in May,

Brown appears to be progressing well as training camp approaches, but he told The Undefeated earlier this week that with regard to the wrist, "some days it's better than others." Reading between the lines, it seems like Brown is well on track to be ready for the start of the regular season, but he may need a few more weeks before the wrist is back to full strength. Brown is coming off of a strong 2020-21 season in which he averaged a career-high 24.7 points per game to go with 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.8 threes.

Brown (wrist) underwent successful surgery Thursday and is expected to return to basketball activities in about three months, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Brown concludes the season with career-best averages in points (24.7), assists (3.4), steals (1.2), blocks (0.6) and made three-pointers (2.8) per game while also adding 6.0 rebounds in 34.5 minutes. Brown also set new career highs in field-goal percentage (48.4), free-throw percentage (76.4), and three-point percentage (39.7). His recovery timetable will presumably cut into his offseason workout schedule, but Brown should be available for the start of 2021 training camp.

Brown has been diagnosed with a torn ligament in his left wrist and will miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This announcement seemingly comes out of nowhere, as Brown had missed the last three games with a sprained right ankle, and there was no discussion of a possible wrist injury. It's unclear exactly when it may have occurred, but the torn ligament will require surgery, and the Celtics have already ruled Brown out for the remainder of the season. It's a brutal conclusion for Brown, who got off to a red-hot start in December and January and was named to his first career All-Star team. He'll conclude the season with career-best averages in points (24.7), assists (3.4), steals (1.2), blocks (0.6) and made three-pointers (2.8) per game while also adding 6.0 rebounds in 34.5 minutes. Brown also set new career highs in field-goal percentage (48.4), free-throw percentage (76.4), and three-point percentage (39.7).

Brown (ankle) will not play Sunday against Miami, Chris Grenham of Forbes Sports reports.

Brown will miss his third game in a row due to a sprained right ankle. Evan Fournier will likely continue to start in Brown's absence, while Aaron Nesmith will likely see an increased workload.

Brown (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown has missed the last two games due to a sprained right ankle and it remains unclear if he'll be able to return Sunday. If he can't go, Evan Fournier would likely draw another start at small forward for the Celtics.

Brown (ankle) is ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Brown will miss Friday's game while recovering from a right ankle sprain. Celtics general manager Danny Ainge recently hinted that he could return as early as Sunday's contest against Miami. In any case, Evan Fournier should start at small forward as long as Brown remains sidelined.

Brown (ankle) will probably return Sunday against the Heat, Chris Grenham of Forbes Sports reports.

The Celtics play Friday against the Bulls, but it's unlikely that Brown will be ready for that game. In his presumed absence, Evan Fournier should continue starting at small forward.

Brown (leg) will not be available for Wednesday's game at Orlando, CBS Boston reports.

While the wing could miss a game or two in the short term, coach Brad Stevens downplayed the severity of Brown's sprained ankle, which occurred late in Sunday's loss to the Trail Blazers when he collided with Jayson Tatum along the sideline. Tatum will be available Wednesday, while Boston is considering Brown day-to-day.

Brown collided with Jayson Tatum late in Sunday's loss to the Blazers and appeared to injure his right leg, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.

The collision occurred along the sideline as Brown and Tatum converged to attempt to trap Norman Powell. Brown's right leg appeared to contact Tatum's left leg, and both players were in obvious pain. Brown was helped to the Celtics' locker room by two staffers, while Tatum also exited the game.

Brown (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Blazers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown emerged from Friday's overtime win over the Spurs with a sprained right ankle, and while he likely won't be at 100 percent, the star wing will be available Sunday night. Brown saw 44 minutes of action Friday but had one of his worst games of the season, as he hit just 5-of-24 field-goal attempts en route to 17 points. He did tack on five boards, two assists, two steals and two blocks, however.

Brown (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Portland.

Brown is dealing with a right ankle sprain, which appears to be a new injury. The ankle issue could help explain his 5-for-24 shooting debacle against the Spurs in his last outing Friday. If he can't play Sunday, Grant Williams and Romeo Langford could see increased minutes.

Brown mustered 38 points (13-23 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and a block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Hornets.

Brown was coming off a 39-point effort the last time out, and he's now recorded at least 35 points in three of his last five games. Even though he's missed three games over the last two weeks, Brown has been absolutely dominant when on the court and should be an elite fantasy asset throughout the rest of the campaign if he's able to keep this up. He has scored at least 20 points in nine games in a row, topping the 30-point mark four times in that stretch.

Brown registered 20 points (8-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 125-104 loss to the Hornets.

The 24-year-old played his usual 30-plus minutes in his return to the starting lineup after missing two straight games due to left shoulder bursitis. Brown, who made his first-ever All-Star team this season, is averaging career highs in points, assists, steals, blocks and three-pointers this season through 54 games. The fifth-year forward will look to help get the Celtics back in the win column Tuesday at home against the Thunder.

Brown (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Hornets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

After two missed games due to a shoulder injury, Brown will return to the court and presumably start Sunday's game. This month, he's averaged 24.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.6 minutes.

Brown (shoulder) is out for Friday's contest against the Nets.

Left shoulder bursitis will keep Brown out for a second straight game. However, Evan Fournier (COVID-19 protocols) will be making his return, so that should help fill in some minutes.

Brown (shoulder) will not play Thursday against Phoenix.

Brown had been listed as doubtful, so it's not a big surprise that he has officially been ruled out. It will mark just his sixth absence of the season, though he has missed two of the last three games.

Brown is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Suns due to shoulder bursitis, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown has generally been healthy all season, as Thursday's presumed absence would mark just his sixth missed game. If he's out, more minutes would be available for Grant Williams, Romeo Langford and Semi Ojeleye.

Brown registered 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's loss to the Bulls.

The 24-year-old played his usual 30-plus minutes in his return to the starting lineup after missing a game due to a non-COVID illness. Brown put together a nice five-game stretch before missing Saturday's game, averaging 28.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.4 three-pointers, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in that span. The fifth-year guard will look to keep it rolling on Thursday at home against the Suns.

Brown (illness) will be available for Monday's game against Chicago, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

An illness landed Brown on the initial injury report, but he's since been removed and will return to action after missing Saturday's win over the Warriors. In his last appearance Thursday against the Lakers, Brown went for 40 points, nine boards, three assists and a steal in 32 minutes.

Brown (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Brown sat out Saturday's contest due to a non-COVID illness, but he has a chance to return Monday. If he's unable to suit up against Chicago, Romeo Langford, Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams could see increased run for Boston.

Brown (illness) is out Saturday against the Warriors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown will sit out for the first time since March 29. He's been excellent for Boston lately, averaging 24.7 points on 54.1 percent shooting over the past nine games. In his absence, Romeo Langford, Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams could see more minutes.

Brown is questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to a non-COVID illness, Chris Grenham of Forbes Sports reports.

Brown feels under the weather and could miss his first game since March 29 and just his fifth on the season. If he sits out, more minutes would be available for Grant Williams, Romeo Langford and Semi Ojeleye.

Brown posted 40 points (17-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Thursday's win over the Lakers.

Brown ended just two points shy of tying his career-high mark, but the small forward was also extremely efficient since he missed just three shots -- he became the first player in franchise history to score at least 40 points while shooting at least 85 percent from the field. Brown has been consistent with his scoring figures and contributions across the board but seems to have taken things a bit further, as he has scored at least 20 points in five games in a row. He's averaging 24.8 points per game on 54.3 percent shooting since the beginning of April.

Brown finished Thursday's 121-113 win over the Lakers with 40 points (17-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes.

Brown was nearly unstoppable from the field Thursday, torching the league's top-ranked defense for 40 points while missing only three of his 20 shot attempts. The fifth-year forward was only two points off his career high, and he came up big down the stretch with four points in the final minute after Boston nearly blew a 27-point fourth-quarter lead. Brown has scored at least 20 points in each of his past five contests, averaging 28.4 points and 7.2 rebounds while shooting 56.7 percent over that span.

Brown scored 24 points (9-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Trail Blazers.

The fifth-year wing is locked in at the moment, scoring at least 20 points in four straight games and seven times in his last nine. Brown is averaging 23.0 points, 6.0 boards, 3.3 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals over that nine-game stretch, and he's finding more room to operate as defenses are forced to pay extra attention to a rampaging Jayson Tatum.

Brown produced 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots across 36 minutes in Sunday's 105-87 win over the Nuggets.

The Celtics appeared to be up against it heading into the final quarter, but Brown joined Jayson Tatum in sparking an improbable 31-3 run to steal the win from the Nuggets. Brown showed no ill effects from the knee soreness that's bothered him all week, and his contribution was key in producing one of the best comeback wins in the league this season.

Brown (knee) will play Sunday against Denver, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.

Brown will be available despite the fact that he's been dealing with soreness in his left knee. Brown has missed just four games so far this season.

Coach Brad Stevens said Brown (knee) will likely be available for Sunday's game against Denver, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

Brown should play Sunday despite dealing with left knee soreness after Friday's overtime win over Minnesota. If he does play as expected, the 24-year-old figures to be in line for his usual workload of around 34.0 minutes per game.

Brown is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Nuggets due to left knee soreness.

Brown played 44 minutes in Friday's overtime win over the Timberwolves, which is where he suffered the injury. If he sits out Sunday, more minutes would be available for Romeo Langford and Aaron Nesmith.

Brown registered 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 44 minutes during Friday's overtime win over the TImberwolves.

The 24-year-old has now strung together two strong across-the-board performances in a row, a span in which he's averaged 29.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.5 three-pointers, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.5 blocks in that span. Brown was coming off of two 17-point performances before scoring 32 and 16 over his last two games, respectively. The fifth-year guard is heating up, and he'll look to keep it going Sunday on the road against the Nuggets.

Brown registered 32 points (12-26 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block across 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Knicks.

Brown was coming off back-to-back 17-point performances, but he carried Boston offensively in this one and posted his first game with at least 30 points since March 21, when he scored 34 points against the Magic. Brown has scored at least 20 points in four of his last six appearances.

Brown scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding three rebounds and a block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the 76ers.

Jayson Tatum led the scoring charge for Boston in this one, but Brown still turned in a solid effort. The 24-year-old has been battling through some minor nicks and scrapes lately, but since missing a contest with a bruised hip March 29, Brown has averaged 20.0 points, 6.0 boards, 3.3 threes, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists in four games.

The Celtics upgraded Brown (knee) to available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Head coach Brad Stevens said in his pregame media availability that he expected Brown to play through his bruised left knee, but this latest update confirms the swingman will be good to go Sunday. Brown has averaged 22.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 three-pointers, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.6 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

Boston head coach Brad Stevens said he expects Brown (knee) to play Sunday against Charlotte, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

The Celtics officially list Brown as questionable on their injury report, but Stevens' comments imply that the swingman is closer to probable. Barring any setbacks in pregame warmups ahead of the 6 p.m. ET tip, Brown should start and take on a normal minutes load Sunday.

Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal reports.

Brown exited Friday's game against the Rockets due to a bruised left knee, and the injury may force him to miss Sunday's action. If he sits out, Evan Fournier, Grant Williams and Aaron Nesmith are candidates to see extra run.

Brown will not return to Friday's matchup with the Rockets due to a bruised left knee, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown was having a nice night before suffering the injury. He compiled 22 points (9-20 FG, 1-2 3PT, 3-4 FT),11 rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes. His status for Sunday's game against the Hornets is now uncertain until the Celtics provide an update on the situation.

Brown (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

Brown will return to the court after missing the last four games due to a left hip bruise. Grant Williams should return to a bench role against Dallas, although it's not yet clear whether Brown will face any restrictions during his first game back.

Brown will not be available for Monday night's game against the Pelicans due to a bruised left hip.

This is the first we're hearing of the injury, which Brown apparently picked up during Sunday's come-from-behind win over the Thunder. It's likely nothing to worry about long-term, but it does mean the Celtics will be without one of their All-Stars on Monday night. If Evan Fournier (health and safety protocols) is cleared to play, he could pick up a good chunk of Brown's minutes.

Brown collected 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in a 122-114 victory over the Bucks on Friday.

Brown wasn't terribly efficient from the field but was able to convert on multiple shots from distance for the 11th consecutive game. The forward has attempted 11.5 threes per game over his last four contests which is second most in the NBA, trailing only Fred VanVleet. Brown has connected on 45.7 percent of those attempts which has contributed to his recent spike in scoring.

Brown registered 24 points (10-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Bucks.

Brown and Kemba Walker were the only two starters to hit 50 percent of their shots both from distance and overall shooting. Though his scoring has gone down in three straight (34, 27 and 24 points respectively), Brown has still been on an absolute tear. He is averaging 28.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting 51.6 percent of his shots including 45.9 percent from deep.

Brown totaled 27 points (11-24 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in a 132-126 loss to the Grizzlies on Monday.

Brown was able to score at least 24 points for the fifth time in his last seven games in the Celtics' overtime loss. The team was without Jayson Tatum (illness) and Kemba Walker (rest), so Brown had plenty of scoring opportunities and ended up attempting a team-high 24 shot attempts. The forward has played great since returning from the All-Star break, averaging 24.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. If Tatum is forced to miss additional time, look for Brown to continue to lead the way for Boston.

Brown scored a game-high 34 points (12-24 FG, 10-18 3Pt) while adding four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 112-96 win over the Magic.

The 10 made threes were a career high for Brown, and he fell just short of tying Marcus Smart's franchise record of 11. It's the sixth time this season Brown has struck for 30 or more, and through eight games in March he's averaging 23.1 points, 5.3 boards, 3.6 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.8 steals.

Brown finished with 19 points (9-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 11 boards, three assists, three steals, and one block in 35 minutes of a 107-96 loss to the Kings on Friday.

Brown's double-double was not enough to lift the C's hopes, as their losing streak continued. While Brown's points did take a dip, he still managed to lead his team in scoring. He'll face the Magic on Sunday.

Brown posted 28 points (11-26 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-8 FT), four assists, three rebounds, three blocks and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 117-110 loss to the Cavaliers.

Brown wasn't especially efficient, but he was far from the reason the Celtics were upset Wednesday. The contest marked the second straight game that Brown has posted 28 points, and his three blocks set a new season high.

Brown posted 28 points (12-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 117-109 loss to the Jazz.

The 24-year-old has scored double-digit points in every game this season, averaging a career-high 24.4 points per game through 36 games. Brown is also averaging a career-high in assists (3.9) and steals (1.2) this season. He's having the most efficient season of his career and continues to play at an All-Star level. Brown and the Celtics will look to get back in the win column on Wednesday when they play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Brown registered 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 134-107 win against the Rockets.

The 24-year-old followed up one of his worst shooting nights of the season with one of his best, hitting 64 percent of his shots. The newly minted All-Star has been one of the most efficient guards in the NBA this season, averaging 24.4 points per game on a career-high 49 percent shooting in 35 games this season. Brown will look to make it two efficient games in a row when the Celtics play Tuesday against the Jazz.

Brown had 13 points (5-23 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six assists, five rebounds and four steals Thursday in a 121-109 loss to the Nets.

Brown logged multiple season highs but not through ways he would like to remember. Those came in the form of 12 three-point attempts and 18 missed field goals. Brown has supplied better shooting nights than the one he provided Thursday and will look to get back on track when the Celtics play Sunday at Houston.

Brown had 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Clippers.

Brown sat Sunday's win over the Wizards and didn't miss a step in this one, shooting the ball efficiently and ending as the Celtics' second-highest scorer behind Kemba Walker, who ended with 25 points. Brown has reached the 15-point mark in 10 straight games, but he hasn't reached the 20-point mark in any of his last three outings.

Brown (knee) is available Tuesday against the Clippers.

The 24-year-old sat out Sunday's win over the Wizards with soreness in his left knee, but he'll return from the one-game absence Tuesday. Brown should reclaim his spot in the starting five for Boston's penultimate contest before the All-Star break.

Brown (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

The 24-year-old missed Monday's matchup with the Wizards with knee soreness after being listed as questionable, and he's considered questionable again for Tuesday's contest. Javonte Green could receive another start for Boston should Brown be forced to sit out his second straight game.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Wizards, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Brown entered the day carrying a questionable designation, and he's now been ruled out due to soreness in his left knee, which cropped up following Friday's win over the Pacers. The Celtics are likely being cautious with the first-time-All-Star, so Brown should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's home matchup against the Clippers.

Brown is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards due to left knee soreness, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Brown played 37 minutes during Friday's win over the Pacers, posting 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists. He's emerged from the contest with knee soreness, which could force him to miss his third game of the season. If Brown ends up sidelined, more usage and/or minutes would likely funnel to Payton Pritchard, Jeff Teague, Aaron Nesmith or Grant Williams.

Brown dropped 17 points (6-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.

Wednesday marked the third time this season that Brown failed to hit a three-pointer when attempting at least four of them. Over his last three games, Brown has hit on just 5-of-24 trey attempts. Moving past his struggling shot from beyond the arc, Brown's contributions in other areas have remained steady. He's dished out at least five assists in six straight games while grabbing five or more rebounds in four of those six contests.

Brown supplied 29 points (12-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Mavericks.

Brown carried the Celtics offensively and delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court, but that has been a trend for the former California product -- he has scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven contests. Perhaps more importantly, Brown seems to have regained confidence in his shot after making just 34.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in his three previous games, as he shot 60 percent from the field in this one.

Brown registered 25 points (7-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine assists and six rebounds Sunday in a 120-115 overtime loss to the Pelicans.

Coming off a season-low 12 shot attempts Friday, Brown came out much more aggressive Sunday, but struggled to get much to fall. The forward shot a miserable 26.7 percent on 15 first-half shots and didn't do much better in the second half. Despite the rough shooting game, Brown's eight made free throws saved his stat line. Brown has improved his efficiency in his fifth season, shooting a career-high 49.7 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from three, so look for Brown to get going again Tuesday against Dallas.

Brown (knee) totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal in 34 minutes during the Celtics' 121-109 win over the Hawks.

In 18 games between December and January, Brown failed to register 20 points in just two of those outings. Through nine February contests, he's now failed to hit the 20-point plateau three times. Still, Brown has enjoyed much success this season that's seen him average a career high in both points and assists while shooting the ball at a high level of consistency.

Brown (knee) will play Friday against the Hawks, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Despite left knee soreness, Brown will take the court for a rematch against the Hawks. Across the last five games, Brown has averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.8 minutes.

Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta due to a sore left knee.

Brown is a surprise addition to the injury report, and the Celtics will closely monitor his status over the next 24 hours. Brown played 37 and 35 minutes, respectively, in the Celtics' Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set against the Nuggets and Hawks. In Wednesday's loss, he finished with 22 points, seven assists and three rebounds.

Brown scored 22 points (6-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT) while adding seven assists and three rebounds in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 122-114 loss to the Hawks.

It wasn't the most efficient shooting performance, but Brown still scored more than 20 points for the fourth straight game. The 24-year-old wing has cooled off a little since his blistering start to the season, but Brown is still averaging 23.1 points, 5.9 boards, 3.8 assists and 2.0 threes through eight games in February.

Brown scored 27 points (11-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt) to go along with five rebounds and five assists in Tuesday's win over the Nuggets.

Brown got hot from three-point range, nailing at least five threes in a game for the fourth time this season. He also improved his ball distribution, handing out five dimes after failing to record a single assist in three of his last four contests. Brown has taken a step forward in a number of statistics through 25 games, racking up a career-best 26.0 points as well as 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Brown scored 25 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT) while adding seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 104-91 loss to the Wizards.

He tied Kemba Walker for the team lead in scoring on the afternoon, but no other Celtic managed more than six points. Brown hasn't missed a beat since sitting for two games earlier this month due to a minor knee issue, averaging 24.3 points, 6.5 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.3 steals over his last four contests.

Brown recorded 27 points (11-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds and two steals across 36 minutes in Friday's loss against the Pistons.

Brown's numbers have taken a small hit since Jayson Tatum returned to the lineup, and he has surpassed the 25-point mark in just two of his last five games. Brown should remain one of the Celtics' main scoring threats going forward, but his usage rate and overall scoring figures have decreased a bit compared to the numbers he was posting earlier this season.

Brown delivered 12 points (3-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block over 32 minutes in Thursday's 120-106 home win over the Raptors.

Brown's 10 dimes were a career high. While the potential All-Star had an off shooting night, his passing created lots of open shots for Semi Ojeleye (24 points) and Payton Pritchard (20 points). The Raptors often double-teamed Brown and Jason Tatum, making it easy for them to find open teammates. (Tatum had nine assists). Boston's ball movement was a refreshing site coming off their frustrating west coast road trip. Expect Brown to deliver more than 12 points Friday night as the Celtics stay home to face the Pistons.

Brown had 33 points (12-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and eight rebounds across 37 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Jazz.

Brown posted another dominant scoring performance, and while the rest of the team didn't help him much, it's worth noting this was Brown's fifth game with 33 or more points. This was an excellent bounce-back performance following a two-game absence, and Brown should remain one of Boston's top scoring threats as long as he remains in the lineup on a nightly basis. He is having a career-best year offensively.

Brown (knee) will play Tuesday against the Jazz, Chris Grenham of Forbes Sports reports.

After missing two consecutive games with left knee soreness, Brown will be back in action Tuesday. His return should move Carsen Edwards back to the bench.

Brown (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game at Utah.

The 24-year-old missed the past two games due to soreness in his left knee, but he may be able to retake the court Tuesday against the Jazz. Semi Ojeleye and Javonte Green are in line for extra run should Brown be sidelined again.

Brown (knee) won't play Sunday against the Suns.

Brown missed his first game of the season Friday due to left knee soreness, and he'll be unavailable once again for Sunday's matchup. Semi Ojeleye and Javonte Green could see increased run for Boston in Brown's absence.

Brown (knee) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

The 24-year-old was considered questionable for Friday's contest with a sore left knee, and he'll end up missing his first game of the season. Javonte Green is a candidate to start with Brown sidelined in Los Angeles.

Brown (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Tom Westerholm of Boston.com reports.

Brown has yet to miss a game so far this season, but his status for Friday is uncertain due to soreness in his left knee. If Brown is forced to miss the game, Javonte Green could receive the start.

Brown had 21 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four assists, three rebounds and a block across 34 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Kings.

Brown was coming off an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double in the previous game, but he surpassed the 20-point mark once again here -- he's now scored 20 or more points in 11 of his last 12 contests and has settled himself as the Celtics' second-best scoring threat behind Jayson Tatum. Brown is averaging 26.0 points per game during that 12-game span, though those numbers are slightly inflated since Tatum didn't play in five of those contests.

Brown tallied 18 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in a win over the Warriors on Tuesday.

Brown dipped below 20 points for the first time since Jan. 4, but he bounced back from a poor effort on the boards his last time out to collect his third double-double of the campaign. The 24-year-old ranks 13th in the league in scoring this season at 26.6 points per contest while draining 52.4 percent of his field-goal attempts (including 42.9 percent from deep). He and teammate Jayson Tatum form one of the top scoring duos in the league.

Brown logged 28 points (13-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block Saturday in a 96-95 loss to the Lakers.

Brown has been one of the league's best scorers this season, especially when playing at home. He is averaging 29.5 points on a 54.1 field-goal percentage across eight home games. The returns of Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker have not drastically affected Brown either, as he still averaged 26.0 points in two matchups when all three played together.

Brown registered 24 points (8-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists, a steal and two blocks across 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Spurs.

Brown delivered another strong performance across the board, but the return of Jayson Tatum was noticeable -- Brown didn't have the prominent role he had on offense in past games and ended as Boston's second-highest scorer behind the former Duke star. Brown continues to produce at an elite level with or without Tatum in the lineup, though, and he has now scored 20 or more points in nine straight contests.

Brown posted 26 points (10-21 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes in Monday's win over the Bulls.

Brown was coming off a 33-point output the last time out, and while he was unable to repeat those numbers -- something expected with the return of Jayson Tatum -- he still produced a strong stat line across the board. Brown continues to improve on a year-to-year basis and is taking on a bigger responsibility when it comes to scoring. He has notched 20 or more points in eight straight games, averaging 27.6 points per game in that eight-game span.

Brown registered 33 points (13-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, an assist and two steals across 19 minutes in Sunday's win over the Cavaliers.

The Celtics led by 17 points at the end of the first quarter and that allowed the coaching staff to rest the key players and give an extended run to some of the bench guys -- that didn't stop Brown to deliver an offensive clinic with 33 points in just 19 minutes, the lowest mark of any Boston starter. Brown should continue as Boston's top offensive threat as long as Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) remains sidelined, and he has embraced the role perfectly with 25 or more points in five of his last six contests. He has also scored 20-plus points in seven straight games.

Brown had 42 points (16-28 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in Friday's 122-110 loss to the Sixers.

Brown's field goals attempted (28), field goals made (16) and scoring total (42 points) were all career highs for the 24-year-old. Brown has been tasked to carry the load with Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) out and Kemba Walker (knee) restricted. Though the fifth-year Celtic is not expected to continue doing that, Brown's 32.3 points across those four games show he can lead with scoring when needed.

Brown dropped 26 points (10-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 117-109 loss to the Sixers.

With Kemba Walker (knee) on a minutes restriction and Jayson Tatum out because of COVID-19, Brown was relied on heavily to carry the load. The 24 field goal attempts were the second-most Brown's attempted this season and his 26 points marked the fifth consecutive 20-point performance.

Brown finished with 25 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six boards, three assists, and one steal in 33 minutes of a 105-75 loss to the Knicks on Sunday.

Brown accounted for a third of his team's points in the lopsided defeat. While he continued to put up decent numbers, it wasn't his most efficient outing as he shot below 50 percent from the field. He'll face the 76ers on Wednesday.

Brown posted 21 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Friday's win over the Magic.

The Celtics were without Jayson Tatum (COVID-19 protocols) and Marcus Smart didn't have his best outing, so Brown was forced to fulfill a playmaker role and thrived -- he posted a season-high mark in assists while also pacing the Celtics in scoring. Brown has at least 20 points in all but two of his appearances this season and should continue to see plenty of usage with Tatum out.

Brown (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports reports.

The Celtics haven't played since Jan. 8 due to postponements, but Friday's game is on and Brown is available. With Jayson Tatum (COVID-19 protocols) still out, Brown should see plenty of usage. Over the past five games, he's averaging 24.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 36.4 minutes.

Brown (COVID-19) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Orlando.

The Celtics are listing several players as questionable, indicating that they still may have some hurdles to clear in terms of the league's health and safety protocols. Either way, this is a step in the right direction for Brown, who was initially expected to miss Friday's contest. Brown hasn't played since Friday's win over Washington, though he technically hasn't missed any time, as the Celtics' last three games have been postponed.

Brown (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) is expected to remain out through Friday's game against the Magic, though he could be eligible to rejoin the Celtics as soon as Saturday, Tom Westerholm of Boston.com reports.

Brown entered the NBA's health and safety protocols Friday, when he was deemed to be a close contact of Jayson Tatum, who tested positive for COVID-19. At this stage, no reports have surfaced indicating that Brown has tested positive himself, so the expectation is that he'll be cleared to return to the team once he completes the seven-day quarantine that has been standard for players ruled out through contact tracing. Since Tatum's positive test, the Celtics have had three consecutive games postponed, so Brown won't actually end up missing any action until Friday's contest, assuming it ends up being played.

Brown and the Celtics won't play Wednesday against Orlando after the game was postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

For Boston, it will be the third straight postponement after Sunday's game against Miami and Tuesday's game against Chicago were subject to the same situation. The Celtics are still dealing with COVID-related absences that left them without the required eight players for the games to take place.

Tuesday's game for Brown between the Celtics and Bulls has been postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This will be the second straight postponement for the Celtics, who had Sunday's game against Miami nixed after failing to have enough players available. With the virus ravaging Boston's roster, it's very possible Wednesday's game against Orlando could also be in jeopardy.

Brown (COVID-19 protocols) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Brown is one of nine Boston players ruled out for Sunday's contest as he'll miss his first game of the year after a hot start. The 24-year-old will hope to miss as little time as possible after falling into the league's health and safety protocols.

Brown is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to health and safety protocols.

The Celtics are the latest team to get hit with a wave of health and safety protocols, and it's possible they'll be down to the of minimum eight available players for Sunday's game. Keep an eye on Brown's status -- as well as other players' status -- closer to tipoff.

Brown scored 27 points (9-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go with 13 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes in a 116-107 win over Washington on Friday.

Brown found his stride in the second quarter on 5-for-6 shooting to total 18 points by halftime. The forward recorded his second double-double in as many games. Brown has excelled this season from the field, shooting 54.7 percent this campaign. The 24-year-old has an impressive confidence this season, averaging 19.1 field goal attempts this year compared to last season's 15.6 attempts per game.

Brown recorded 21 points (8-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks during a win at Miami on Wednesday.

Brown logged value in other statistical categories to make up for the inefficient shooting. In particular, Brown's 12 rebounds helped him earn his first double-double across this campaign. His rebound and assist tallies marked season highs far from those he averaged through eight previous games (4.6 RPG and 3.1 APG).

Brown recorded 19 points (7-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a steal over 34 minutes in Monday's 126-114 win over the Raptors.

Brown might have been outshined by Jayson Tatum in this game, as the star forward poured 40 points, but he still delivered a strong performance across the board. The fact that this was just the second time he couldn't reach the 20-point mark all season long speaks volumes of the scoring threat he's been for the Celtics so far.

Brown compiled 31 points (13-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three assists and a rebound across 35 minutes in Sunday's 122-120 win over the Pistons.

After scoring 25 points against the Pistons on Friday, Brown's 31-point performance helped the Celtics split the weekend with Detroit. Although you'd expect Jayson Tatum to lead the team in scoring, it's Brown who leads the team in that category presently. The Duke product was brilliant in the Orlando bubble and is picking up where he left off. All signs point toward a breakout year for the multi-category contributor.

Brown scored 25 points (12-20 FG, 1-7 3PT) to go along with nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks across 38 minutes in Friday's loss to the Pistons.

Brown started the game slowly, missing his only two shot attempts in first quarter. However, he found his shot from there, with the only real blemish on his stat sheet coming from three-point range. Though Brown has gotten attention for his scoring early this season, he has multiple steals in all but two games and is developing well-round stat lines.

Brown scored 42 points (15-21 FG, 7-10 3PT, 5-6 FT) to go with five rebounds, four assists and one steal across just 29 minutes in a 126-107 win over Memphis on Wednesday.

Brown continued his impressive start to the season, this time taking it to another level when he only needed three quarters to eclipse 40 points for the first time in his career. The forward didn't play in the fourth quarter as Boston maintained a comfortable lead throughout the contest. Brown's seven made baskets beyond the arc are the most for the 24-year-old in a game since the 2017 season. Wednesday marked the third game this season in which Brown has led the Celtics in scoring. Brown's dominated on both ends of the court early on, averaging 28.0 points and 1.8 points per game this season and has no signs of slowing down production outside of resting games anytime soon.

Brown scored 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-10 FT) while adding four steals, two rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-111 win over the Pacers.

The 24-year-old had a fast start to the season with 60 points in his first two games, but Brown has returned to last year's still strong scoring pace during back-to-back games in Indiana. Jayson Tatum appears to be emerging as the Celtics' top offensive player while Kemba Walker (knee) remains sidelined, but Brown's been plenty productive as the team's 1B option.

Brown collected 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 108-107 loss to the Pacers.

Brown put together another strong performance, continuing his promising start to the season. After a dynamic campaign in the bubble, Brown finds himself with added responsibility this season. Thus far, he appears up to the challenge and could end up being a bit of a draft-day steal. He was typically being taken in the 70 range in a lot of drafts, an ADP that could end being quite unflattering. The top-50 is certainly within reach for Brown and should he manage to turn his free throw shooting around, who's to say he can't be a top-40 asset come seasons end.

Brown provided 27 points (11-25 FG, 0-4 4Pt, 5-9 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot across 31 minutes in Friday's 123-95 loss to the Nets.

Brown led the team in scoring despite connecting on only 44 percent of his shots. He also failed to find the bottom of the net in four three-point attempts. The Nets successfully held down Jayson Tatum, which gave Brown more opportunities to contribute, especially with Kemba Walker still sidelined.

Brown registered 33 points (13-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.

Brown paced the Celtics in the season opener and delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court, as he also excelled as a playmaker and as a defensive presence. Brown should be one of Boston's go-to players on offense this season and will get another chance to thrive Friday on Christmas Day against the Nets.

Brown had 16 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and four assists in Friday's 113-89 defeat against the Nets. He also had a steal and a turnover in the game.

Brown was much more productive offensively on Friday than he was against the 76ers few days ago, once again finishing with the second-most points on the Celtics. He still struggled from 3-point range, however, and Wednesday's clash against Milwaukee will be the final tune up before the regular season starts.

Brown posted five points (1-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 22 minutes in Tuesday's 108-99 preseason loss against the 76ers.

Brown struggled badly with his shot and finished second in field goal attempts with 11, only trailing Jayson Tatum's 13. Brown should be one of Boston's main scoring threats once the regular season begins, and he is widely expected to turn things around before then. He averaged a career-best 20.3 points per game in 2019-20.

Brown tallied 26 points (10-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 125-113 Game 6 loss to Miami.

Brown was fantastic in a losing effort, dropping a team-high 26 points and continuing his tremendous postseason. While his partner in crime, Jayson Tatum, often receives the bulk of the praise, Brown has to be recognized for what he has brought to the table over the past two months. The arrow is firmly pointed up for Brown and he is going to command a somewhat lofty draft pick when the league reconvenes, whenever that might be.

Brown delivered 28 points (12-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and steal over 39 minutes in Friday's 121-108 Eastern Conference finals Game 5 win.

Brown was the only Celtic who played well during the first quarter and kept them in the game throughout a bleak looking first half for Boston. And then Brown and the other Boston starters exploded for a 41-point third quarter that swung the lead in Boston's favor. Brown and Jayson Tatum frequently played a hot two-man game, creating open shots for each other during the paramount third period. Brown played a complete game on both ends for all four quarters and earned a much deserved "Tommy Award" from NBC Sports Boston. The Celtics are still down 3-2 in the series and will try to keep their season alive in Game 6 on Sunday.

Brown went for 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's Game 4 loss against the Heat.

Brown has topped the 20-point mark in each of the last three games of the series while shooting 60 percent from the field and 53.8 percent from three-point range during that span. He continues to be Boston's second-best scoring option behind Jayson Tatum, but he is clearly trending in the right direction after his last few performances.

Brown exploded for 26 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block over 43 minutes in Saturday's 117-106 Eastern Conference finals Game 3 win over Miami.

Brown was extremely aggressive all game, applied exhausting defensive ball pressure and frequently, forcefully drove to the bucket for high percentage shots. While much was made of Gordon Hayward's helpful return (ankle), but it was Brown who led Boston to victory. The Celtics, via Brown, seemed to determine that the way to break Miami's zone defense was to drive to the hope and either shoot or dish to the corners. Brown's aggressiveness continued through all four quarters, in sharp contract to Boston's up-and-down play in Games 1 and 2. Brown and his teammates now have a long wait before taking the court on Wednesday for Game 4.

Brown totaled 21 points (10-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, four steals and two assists in 43 minutes of Friday's 92-87 win over Toronto.

Brown had an awful night from beyond the arc but was effective from close up in the series-deciding game. The 23-year-old averaged 20.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in the series and will try to keep it going against Miami in the Eastern Finals starting Tuesday night.

Brown had 31 points (11-30 FG, 4-13 3PT, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, and two steals in Wednesday's Game 6 double-overtime loss to Toronto.

Brown led the way for Boston, which got 29 points from Jayson Tatum and 23 from Marcus Smart, but it wasn't enough to hold off a late Raptors run in the second overtime period. In 51 minutes, Brown set new season-highs in both field goal attempts and three-point attempts.

Brown had 27 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3PT, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and three steals in Monday's Game 5 win over Toronto.

Two nights after the Raptors evened up the series 2-2, Boston bounced back with a dominant Game 5. Brown led all scorers with 27 points, hitting 10 field goals and finishing as a plus-19 in 37 minutes.

Brown produced 16 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks over 36 minutes in Tuesday's 102-99 Game 2 win over Toronto.

While Brown generated a solid offensive effort, it was his defensive play that really stood out. Brown was a major reason Raptor star Pascal Siakam shot 6-of-16 from the field. Brown's three steals highlighted a Boston defensive effort that once again held Toronto below 100 points. Boston, up 2-0, will try to keep the positive momentum going on Thursday for Game 3 versus Toronto.

Brown had 17 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists in Sunday's Game 1 win over Toronto.

Boston blitzed Toronto in the first quarter and never looked back, and Brown helped lead the way as one of six Celtics players in double-figures. He converted three of his team-high nine attempts from deep and finished asa plus-10 in 31 minutes.

Brown notched 21 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 42 minutes during Friday's 102-94 Game 3 win over the Sixers,

Brown scored the second-most points for Boston in Game 2, but he struggled badly from the field -- his eight trips to the charity stripe certainly saved what could've been a below-average scoring output with poor shooting numbers. However, Brown has been one of the most important players for the Celtics this season and his usage might see an uptick -- compared to his regular-season numbers -- as long as Gordon Hayward (ankle) remains out.

Brown scored 20 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding five rebounds, an assist and a block in only 28 minutes during Wednesday's 128-101 Game 2 win over the 76ers.

Brown was dealing with a minor thigh problem ahead of Game 2, but that didn't slow him down -- the California product reached the 20-point plateau for the second straight playoff game despite a subpar shooting night. Brown should see a slight increase in his usage rate with Gordon Hayward out for the next few weeks due to an ankle injury.

Brown (thigh) will play in Wednesday's Game 2 against Philadelphia, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Brown's status was never in much doubt, but he was dealing with a minor thigh issue that landed him on the injury report. Expect Brown to be available for his usual workload as Boston enters Game 2 without Gordon Hayward (ankle).

Brown is considered probable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Sixers due to a bruised thigh.

The issue doesn't look to be anything of concern, and it certainly didn't hamper Brown during Monday's Game 1, when he posted 29 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 39 minutes. With Gordon Hayward (ankle) out for the foreseeable future, Brown could be tasked with handling more of the offensive burden.

Brown delivered 29 points (9-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals over 39 minutes in Monday's 109-101 Game 1 win over Philadelphia.

Brown was an efficient shooter all night and was particularly clutch in the fourth quarter. He and Kemba Walker were tied for second in Boston shot attempts (16), behind Tatum's 21 shots. Brown's three-pointers in the final term helped Boston bounce back from a brief, late third-quarter deficit. On the defensive side, Brown shut down Tobias Harris, who only scored six points on seven attempts. Brown may need to contribute even more in Game 2 on Wednesday with the possible absence of Gordon Hayward (ankle).

Brown will rest for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Brown is one of six key players not taking the court for Boston in the seeding game finale. Plenty of deep bench players should see extended run, including Tremont Waters, Javonte Green, Carson Edwards and Brad Wanamaker in the backcourt.

Brown generated 21 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 24 minutes in Wednesday's 149-115 win over Brooklyn.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring on a night when Boston blew out a depleted Nets squad. Seven Celtics scored in double-figures. Brown has been shooting well while in the Orlando bubble. Over four games, he's hitting 46.4 percent of his shots and 3.5 three-pointers per contest, at a 43.8 percent clip from behind the arc. With Boston doing their best to rest star Kemba Walker (knee), the Celtics are looking to Brown, Jayson Tatum and Gordon Hayward to fill the void. Brown will look to stay hot from three-point land on Friday, when Boston faces the Raptors.

Brown registered 18 points (9-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two steals and one block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 loss against the Heat.

Brown has been scorching hot since the league restarted July 31 and, in fact, this 18-point effort was his lowest-scoring performance in Orlando. It also ended a streak of eight straight games where Brown scored 20 or more points, a stat that shows he has firmly cemented his place as the Celtics' second-best scoring option behind Jayson Tatum.

Brown delivered 30 points (10-18 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 37 minutes in Sunday's 128-124 win over the Trail Blazers.

Brown was red hot from behind the arc, helping Boston succeed while keeping Kemba Walker's (knee) minutes low. Brown shot with authority as things got tight in the fourth quarter despite big early leads for the Celtics. Some of Brown's threes were a foot or two from behind the three point line. Youngsters Brown and Jayson Tatum (34 points) will be expected to carry the load while Boston keeps Walker fresh for the playoffs. Brown and his Celtic teammates next face the Heat on Tuesday for a game with big seeding implications.

Brown produced 22 points (6-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal over 34 minutes in Friday's 119-112 loss to the Bucks in Orlando.

Brown was able to finish the game, despite having five fouls for most of the fourth quarter. With Kemba Walker (knee) on a minutes restriction for most of these seeding games in Orlando, more shots will be available for Brown, Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart. Most of the Celtics struggled with their shot. Boston shot only 40.7% from the field in this, their first regular season game in the Orlando bubble. Brown and his teammates will look to turn things around Sunday versus Portland.

Brown will rest Tuesday against the Rockets, Tom Westerholm of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown is resting before Friday's first seeding game against the Bucks. Coach Brad Stevens is also resting Marcus Smart, Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, Daniel Theis and Enes Kanter.

Brown compiled 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), a rebound, an assist and a steal across 27 minutes in Sunday's 117-103 scrimmage win over the Suns in Orlando.

With all of Boston's starters now in the bubble, the Celtics were dialed in on Sunday against a Suns squad that refused to go away until the final frame. Brown was a crucial factor in holding them off. Kemba Walker's limited minutes gave Brown some room to show his stuff, and he delivered with shots from all over the court, including three drills from beyond the arc. The Celtics are stacked with talent when they are healthy, and Brown will be in line for even more action if the Celtics last in the playoffs. Gordon Hayward is scheduled to take paternity leave in September, and his absence would increase Brown's load.

Brown posted nine points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 17 minutes during Friday's 98-84 loss to the Thunder.

Brown didn't do much in this game, but that was to be expected since head coach Brad Stevens said he would limit the minutes of his star players during the scrimmages. Brown was having a career year when play got suspended back in March. Over 50 appearances, Brown averaged 20.4 points (on 49 percent shooting from the field), 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 34.0 minutes per game.

Brown's (hamstring) trainer, Desmond Eastmond, said Friday that the forward "wouldn't miss a beat" if the season "started back tomorrow," Tom Westerholm of MassLive.com reports.

Prior to the NBA's shutdown March 12, Brown had missed the Celtics' last four games with a right hamstring strain, but Eastmond's comments imply that the injury is no longer a concern more than a month later. Eastmond noted that Brown speaks with him daily via Zoom calls regarding an individualized workout plan, which should keep the 23-year-old in optimal shape if or when the season resumes. After inking a massive contract extension in October, Brown has rewarded the Celtics' faith by turning in a career-best season. Over 50 appearances, Brown is averaging 20.4 points (on 49 percent shooting from the field), 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 34.0 minutes per game.

Coach Brad Stevens said that Brown (hamstring), who has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, is unlikely to play Thursday in Milwaukee, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

The fact that Brown joined the Celtics for their two-game road trip at least keeps hope alive for him to play Thursday, but Stevens doesn't expect the fourth-year forward to make the necessary progress in his recovery from a strained right hamstring to gain clearance in Milwaukee. Before his status is determined for that matchup, Brown will be put through a workout Wednesday, which give the Celtics a better idea of where he stands on the health front.

Brown (hamstring) will remain out for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

It will be the fourth consecutive absence for Brown, who continues to work back from a strained right hamstring. The versatile wing will be evaluated on a game-to-game basis going forward, with his next chance to play arriving Thursday in Milwaukee.

Brown (hamstring) is expected to miss at least one week, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown injured his right hamstring during Tuesday's loss to the Nets, and the issue is apparently serious enough to keep him sidelined for a minimum of seven days, per Steven Bulpett of the Boston Herald. Assuming the timeline holds, Brown will miss at least four games, beginning with Wednesday's game in Cleveland. In the meantime, Marcus Smart figures to join the starting lineup in place of Brown.

Brown (hamstring) will not play Wednesday against the Cavs.

Brown tweaked his right hamstring during Tuesday night's loss to the Nets, and he'll be held out on the second night of the home-road back-to-back set. The Celtics will get Jayson Tatum (illness) back, but Gordon Hayward (knee) and Kemba Walker (knee) will also sit out against the Cavs.

Brown injured his hamstring in Tuesday's loss to the Nets, Mark Murphy of The Boston Herald reports.

Brown still managed to play 35 minutes in the overtime loss, recording 22 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3PT, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in the process. However, his status will likely be in question with the Celtics slated to play at Cleveland on Wednesday. Should Brown miss some time, look for Marcus Smart to see a possible uptick in minutes.

Brown contributed 22 points (9-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, a block and a steal across 44 minutes in Saturday's 111-110 loss to the Rockets.

Brown was responsible for both the game-tying three at the end of regulation and the game-ending shot that gave the win to Houston. The three-pointer was the 23-year-old's only bucket after the third, as he proceeded to shoot 1-of-7 from then on. The fourth-year Celtic was at least able to provide his typical 20-plus points to the home crowd, something he had not done since Feb. 1 against the 76ers.

Brown amassed 24 points (8-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 118-106 victory over Portland.

Brown has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games, putting up top-40 numbers over that same period. The All-Star break appears to have worked in favor of Brown who had been struggling with a myriad of injuries. We also need to factor in that Kemba Walker (knee) has missed the last three games, affording Brown a more proactive role. With that being said, he should be a solid mid-round guy the rest of the way and warrants a roster spot in all fantasy formats.

Brown contributed 20 points (8-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block in 39 minutes during Sunday's 114-112 loss to the Lakers.

Brown swiped three steals for the seventh time this season and put together a well-rounded stat line, though he didn't shoot all that well and accumulated four turnovers. Brown is still a subpar distributor, but he's averaging career highs in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, threes and minutes.

Brown (calf) is expected back in the lineup for Friday's game against Minnesota, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown was held out of last Thursday's game against the Clippers before the break, but he's recovered from a bruised calf and was able to go through a full practice Thursday afternoon. Expect the Cal product to return to a starting lineup that will not feature Kemba Walker, who's been ruled out with a sore knee.

Brown (calf) will not play Thursday against the Clippers, Tom Westerholm of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown picked up a calf contusion during Tuesday's loss to the Rockets and will miss at least one game as a result. He was originally listed as probable -- suggesting the injury isn't anything overly serious -- but was ultimately ruled out after going through warmups. In Brown's absence, Marcus Smart is a candidate to join the starting five and benefit from increased run Thursday. He'll benefit from the extended All-Star break before potentially returning when Boston resumes play against the Timberwolves on Feb. 21.

Brown (calf) participated in morning shootaround and will test things out before tipoff to determine his availability for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Brown picked up a calf contusion during Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, but he was initially listed as probable, so there seems to be a good chance that he'll play. If he's out, Marcus Smart would presumably see extra usage and playing time.

Brown (calf) is probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown picked up a calf contusion during Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, but it doesn't sound like the issue will keep him from taking the court Thursday against Los Angeles. He's averaging 21.4 points and 5.0 rebounds across five games this month.

Brown (ankle) exited during Tuesday's loss to the Rockets with a left calf contusion, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown came into the game nursing an ankle injury and appeared to aggravate the issue in the fourth quarter, but coach Brad Stevens revealed after the game it was a calf bruise. The 23-year-old didn't return to the game, though Stevens subsequently cleared the bench shortly thereafter with the result all but determined. Brown totaled 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 33 minutes. It's undoubtedly good news Brown didn't aggravate the ankle injury, but it's still worth keeping an eye on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Clippers.

Brown (ankle) confirmed that he will play Tuesday against Houston, Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe reports.

Brown missed a game over the weekend and was held out of practice Monday, but his ankle injury isn't anything to be concerned about. Over his last four games, Brown is averaging 35.3 minutes, which he's translated to 22.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He's handed out just three assists over the stretch, however.

Brown (ankle) has a good chance of playing in Tuesday's game against Houston, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown's absence from practice appears to be simply be a precautionary move by coach Brad Stevens. The star wing was able to return from a one-game absence Sunday against the Thunder, totaling 17 points, three rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes of play. Barring any unforeseen setback, Brown should be at his full capabilities against the Rockets.

Brown (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Brown's sore right ankle apparently responding well to a pregame workout, so he'll be good to go after a one-game absence. The Celtics haven't indicated he'll face any restrictions in his return to action, so expect Brown to start at shooting guard and take on a normal allotment of minutes.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Oklahoma City.

Brown was listed as questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta as well but did not wind up playing. Marcus Smart started in his absence and would likely do so again if Brown misses another game.

Brown (ankle) was ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

The 23-year-old picked up the right ankle injury during Wednesday's win over the Magic and will miss at least one game as a result. Marcus Smart (thigh) will play and is a likely candidate to join the starting five with Brown sidelined.

Brown (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Brown tweaked his right ankle during Wednesday's win over the Magic and -- depending on how the issue responds over the next 24 hours -- could be forced to sit out Friday as a result. Look for an update from the team following its morning shootaround to clarify Brown's availability.

Brown "tweaked" his sore ankle in Wednesday's 116-100 win over the Magic, according to coach Brad Stevens, though he added that it "didn't look bad", Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports.

The injury occurred as the game was winding down, with Brown showcasing some discomfort after a shot attempt. He finished with 18 points (8-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT) and five rebounds in 38 minutes. Based on coach Stevens' speculation, the injury doesn't appear to be overly serious, though there's a chance it could jeopardize Brown's status for Friday's tilt with Atlanta. Look for an update from the team ahead of the game to clarify his availability.

Brown notched 21 points (9-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 123-115 win at Atlanta.

Brown has scored 20 or more points in four of his last five outings since returning from a two-game absence during late January, but he has been struggling from deep during that stretch. The star guard has made just two of his last 13 three-point attempts, and he has connected his long-range shots at a 30.0 percent clip during that five-game period.

Brown had 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, a steal and block in Boston's 119-104 win versus Golden State. Brown fouled out after 27 minutes.

Already an accountable fantasy asset, Brown has turned his performance up a few notches lately. The Cal product is averaging 21.4 points per game over his past five. For the season, he is a fringe top-25 scorer in the league.

Brown produced 25 points (10-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one block across 41 minutes in Tuesday's 109-101 win over the Heat.

Offseason pickup Kemba Walker hasn't been a one-for-one replacement for Kyrie Irving as a scorer, but Brown has been able to step up his involvement on the offensive end this season to help cover the difference. He's now cleared 20 points in each of his last four outings, and that's come while he's left some extra points on the floor by going 10-for-20 from the free-throw line over that stretch. Brown is converting at a 74.9 percent clip from the charity stripe this season, so there might actually be some room for his scoring to climb above his current average of 20.1 points per game.

Brown provided 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-108 loss to the Pelicans.

Brown returned to the lineup after a two-game absence with a sprained right ankle and provided a solid scoring effort. However, he contributed sparingly in the other categories, and he'll try to produce a more well-rounded line in Tuesday's tilt versus the Heat.

Brown (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

The 23-year-old was sidelined the last two games with a right ankle sprain but will return to the court Sunday in New Orleans. Brown is averaging 18.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals through nine games in January.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown has missed the last two games with a sprained right ankle and appears to be at risk of missing a third. Marcus Smart, who started at shooting guard in his absence, is probably with a hand injury, leaving the Celtics' starting lineup in flux.

Brown (ankle) has been ruled out Friday against Orlando.

It was initially reported that Brown give it a go Friday night, but the team has since downgraded him to out. Marcus Smart figures to draw the start at shooting guard in Brown's place.

Brown (ankle) said he's going to attempt to play Friday against the Magic, Celtics team reporter Amanda Pflugrad reports.

The 23-year-old is officially questionable for the contest, but Friday morning's shootaround apparently went well enough for him try and suit up. Brown missed three of the last four games with thumb and ankle sprains, so it's still worth keeping an eye on his official availability as the 7 p.m. ET tipoff draws closer.

The Celtics list Brown (ankle) as questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.

Though Brown sat out for the third time in four games in Wednesday's 119-95 win over Memphis, the fact that he's traveling with Boston for its three-game road trip offers hope that his sprained right ankle won't keep him sidelined much longer. The Celtics will presumably reassess Brown's condition at shootaround Friday morning before revealing his status at some point prior to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff.

Brown (ankle) is expected to travel with the team for their upcoming three-game roadtrip, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Brown will remain questionable for Friday's game against Orlando, though his inclusion on the travel roster bodes well for his ability to return at some point during the roadtrip. Look for further updates to come out over the coming days clarifying his status.

Brown (ankle) won't play Wednesday against the Grizzlies, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown will miss his seventh game of the season Wednesday as he attends to a sprained right ankle. In his stead, the rest of the Celtics' core -- Gordon Hayward, Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart -- could all see increased usage and minutes.

Brown is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Brown missed two games last week due to a thumb injury, and after returning to action Monday night, he's back on the injury report with a different issue. He'll likely be re-evaluated during Wednesday's shootaround before another update on his availability surfaces.

Brown finished with 20 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in 32 minutes of a 139-107 win against the Lakers on Monday.

Brown returned from a thumb injury to finish tied for second on his team in points in the contest. With Brown and Walker both back in the fold, the Celtics were able to run away with the contest and end a three-game skid. He'll face the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Brown (thumb) will return to action Monday against the Lakers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.

The versatile wing missed the last two games with a sprained thumb, but the issue was never something that was expected to keep him out for an extended period. Brown will be back in the mix Monday night, and the Celtics also expected to have Kemba Walker (knee) available in the backcourt.

Brown (thumb) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Brown has already missed two games with a sprained right thumb, and Boston will wait to see how he feels Monday before making a decision. The good news is an MRI last week cleared Brown of any major damage to the finger.

Brown (thumb) won't play in Saturday's game against Phoenix, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Although a scan Friday showed no structural damage to Brown's thumb, the star forward will miss a second consecutive game. The Look for Marcus Smart (ankle) to draw another start in place of Brown, who's next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Lakers.

Brown (thumb) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Brown missed Thursday's loss to the Bucks after spraining his right thumb on the front end of the back-to-back set a day earlier, but he may be able to retake the court versus Phoenix. Marcus Smart (ankle) is likely to receive another start should the 23-year-old be unable to play.

Brown (thumb) will not play Thursday against the Bucks, Tom Westerholm of The Springfield Republican reports.

Brown sprained his right thumb during Wednesday's loss to the Pistons and will miss at least one game as a result. In his absence, Marcus Smart will likely start and benefit from an uptick in minutes. Brown's next chance to play will come Saturday against Phoenix.

Brown (thumb) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown suffered a right thumb sprain during Wednesday's loss to the Pistons, leaving his status up in the air for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set. His availability should clear up closer to tip-off. If Brown is unable to go, Marcus Smart would likely start in his place.

Brown suffered a right thumb sprain during Wednesday's loss to the Pistons, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

It's unclear when exactly he sustained the injury Wednesday, but he still managed to put up 24 points (10-16 FG,4-8 3Pt, 0-5 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes. The 23-year-old's availability for Thursday's matchup with the Bucks will receive additional clarity when he's evaluated in the morning.

Brown produced 19 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 30 minutes in Monday's 113-101 win over the Bulls.

Brown struggled with his shot, but was able to get to the free-throw line a team-high nine times and was perfect from the charity strike in the victory. This was the former first-round pick's best scoring effort in three starts. Brown and the Celtics will look to pick up their third straight versus the Pistons on Wednesday night.

Brown finished with just six points (2-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and a steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 109-98 loss to the 76ers.

The 23-year-old had a tough night, mainly proven through his seven shots in the paint, of which he made none. It was Brown's season-low in points, which comes as a surprise considering his emergence as a top-scoring option for the Celtics. However, the fourth-year forward may need to recuperate soon, as he's averaged 15 points under 29.2 percent from the field in Boston's past three games.
