Share

The Boston Celtics are back in action Monday night against the Chicago Bulls, and one of their best players should return to the lineup.

All-Star guard Jaylen Brown missed Saturday night's thrilling win over the Golden State Warriors because of a non-COVID illness, but he's been upgraded to "available" on the new injury report ahead of the team's matchup versus the Bulls at TD Garden.

The Bulls snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
