"I had surgery and then I re-injured it again in the playoffs. I never said anything publicly. I never will because when I go out there, I give you what I've got. I don't like making excuses, but it's never going to be the same. Some days it feels great. Some days it feels terrible. Some days I can feel the weather, I can know a storm is coming, based on how my wrist is feeling."
"Brown didn't duck the criticism after the loss. The Celtics had dug themselves into a 3-0 hole against Miami before Derrick White saved them with a Game 6 tip-in that forced the decisive Game 7 at TD Garden. With Tatum out, Brown had an opportunity to show what he could do as a No. 1 option. It did not go well for him or the team."
Jaylen Brown re-aggravated a left wrist injury during the Celtics' 2023 postseason, a condition he first injured in 2021 and required surgery for. The wrist affects his play and sometimes signals weather changes to him. He committed eight turnovers in Game 7 after Jayson Tatum's ankle injury, contributing to the loss against Miami and prompting fan jokes. Brown acknowledged the injury privately but declined to use it as an excuse, taking full responsibility and saying he let the city down. He emphasized that he always gives his best effort despite the wrist never being the same.
