Jaylen Brown's great game for the Boston Celtics is exactly what they needed. The star Celtics forward has been playing on a knee with a nasty bone bruise and related impingement, and it has been showing up in his play to the detriment of the team in recent games.
But the Georgia native has had the blessing of Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics medical staff to play through the pain and learn how to be effective while he heals up, given there is no time for Brown to sit out and heal up before the 2025 NBA Playoffs begin, and he can't (evidently) make it worse. After his team-high 31 points against the Phoenix Suns, it looks like the Cal alum may have found his groove (perhaps thanks to Paul Pierce, who Brown has been studying), which is great news for his team.
The host of the CLNS Media "You Got Boston" podcast, Noa Dalzell, took some time on a recent episode of her show to talk it over. Check it out below!
