"Jaylen Brown wasn't a full participant at the Celtics' first practice after he injured his hamstring in Wednesday's preseason finale, but the team doesn't seem too concerned about his health. The Celtics' star wing is "day-to-day" with the hamstring injury, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla told reporters on Friday. Mazzulla added that Brown "was able to do everything but the live stuff" at Friday's practice. However, Mazzulla didn't share what Brown's availability will be for Wednesday's regular-season opening matchup against the 76ers."
"Brown suffered the injury early on in Wednesday's game against the Raptors, coming up lame after running up court in transition during the first quarter. He immediately went straight to the locker room at the next whistle, which was some cause for concern. Following Wednesday's game, Mazzulla said he expected Brown to be fine, but wasn't certain. Brown has to adjust to a new role this preseason with Jayson Tatum out for the foreseeable future due to his Achilles injury,"
Jaylen Brown left the preseason finale with a hamstring injury and was not a full participant at the first practice after the injury. Coach Joe Mazzulla labeled Brown day-to-day and said Brown was able to do everything but live drills at the practice. Mazzulla did not announce Brown's availability for the regular-season opener against the 76ers. Brown suffered the hamstring issue early against the Raptors and went to the locker room immediately. Brown must adapt to a new leading-scoring role with Jayson Tatum sidelined by an Achilles injury. Brown recently underwent meniscus surgery in June and showed scoring bursts during the preseason.
