Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis urged teammate Jaylen Brown to prioritize his knee health as the team prepares for the playoffs. Despite being the No. 2 seed, Brown played through pain, but Porzingis expressed concern about the potential impact on his performance. He emphasized the importance of preparing for critical moments and recognized Brown's warrior mentality, which often leads him to prioritize playing over rest. Ultimately, Brown decided to sit out the last three games to better prepare for the playoff series against the Magic.
"He's a tough dude. He always preaches his warrior mindset and he lives by it, but to what extent do we need that right now?"
"So, I think we just have to encourage him to make sure he does everything he needs to prepare, to get it healthy, and to prepare for what is going to come."
