Brown injured his knee on Christmas when the Celtics lost to the Washington Wizards, after colliding with Markieff Morris. Brown also said that he might wear a brace even though he doesn’t want to. Brown has missed the last two games for Boston as they defeated Charlotte and Houston on consecutive nights, and hopes to learn from what happened last Monday.
Jaylen Brown says he’s trying to learn how to be more proactive to avoid injury. “It’s a blessing it wasn’t worse.”
