"Speaking to the media on Monday, Brown said that he wasn't "too concerned" about the injury, but said that nothing has been set in stone about his game status for Wednesday night. "We'll see," Brown said of his availability. "We'll take it one day at a time. But as of now, I feel great." Brown shared that he was a full participant during Monday's practice at the Auerbach Center, with Joe Mazzulla adding that the team is still waiting to see how he fares through the next few days before making any sort of ruling about his participation against the Sixers."
"The Celtics will have to rely heavily on Brown this season, given both Jayson Tatum's extended rehab back from a torn Achilles tendon and the state of a Boston roster that lost key contributors like Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet this summer. "Went through practice today. We'll continue to see how he progresses," Mazzulla said. "But he was able to go today.""
""It's one of the funner times of the NBA season," Brown said. "It's like the first game, it's just like the first day of school. Got your outfit lined up, the shoes lined up, you're ready to go. So I'm looking forward to it.""
Boston Celtics will open the 2025-26 season against the 76ers at TD Garden. Jaylen Brown experienced left hamstring tightness after the preseason finale, creating uncertainty about his availability for the opener. Brown reported feeling great and was a full participant in Monday practice at the Auerbach Center. Coach Joe Mazzulla said the team will monitor Brown's progression over the next few days before deciding on game status. The Celtics will lean heavily on Brown while Jayson Tatum rehabs a torn Achilles and after multiple offseason departures. An early-season seven-games-in-11-days stretch heightens the need for monitoring.
