Why is star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown playing hurt so close to the start of the 2025 NBA Playoffs? The Georgia native has clearly not been playing with his usual level of aggression and burst in recent games, and opened up about what has been ailing him in those contests.
The Celtics are very unlikely to be able to repeat as champs without the Cal alum, so why is he playing in what are effectively meaningless late-season tilts when he could be resting up his banged-up knee in order to be as healthy as possible for a deep postseason run?
CLNS Media's Noa Dalzell and Bobby Manning took some time on a recent episode of the "Garden Report" podcast to talk it over. Check it out below!
