Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed Jaylen Brown received pain management injections to address his right knee injury. Brown's playing time has decreased recently due to the injury, leading to his absence in a recent game and the regular season finale. Mazzulla expressed confidence in Brown's readiness for the playoffs, highlighting that the decision to sit out was made by Brown, who understands his body best. Nonetheless, this decision affects Brown's eligibility for postseason awards due to the league's games played threshold.
It was more, he makes that call. He knows his body better than anybody. He knows exactly where he's at. He knows where he needs to get to in order to be at his best for what matters most. The most important thing is trusting him.
Just part of the rehab process for him to get back to be his absolute best. He's continuing to take care of himself and put himself in great position to be ready for the postseason.
