The Boston Celtics have not officially said if Jaylen Brown will play in Thursday night's NBA Finals rematch against the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden, but they did give a positive update on the veteran guard Wednesday.
Brown has missed Boston's last three games with right adductor tightness, but he went through a full practice Wednesday and his status for Thursday night is TBD, per head coach Joe Mazzulla.
The 26-year-old veteran also spoke after practice and provided an encouraging update on his progress:
Here's a video of Brown getting in some post-practice work:
Brown is averaging career highs with 27.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He's also shooting a career-best 49.8 percent from the field and 79.5 percent from the free throw line. He deserves to be an All-Star this season and also has a strong case to start in the game.Â
The Celtics lost 123-107 to the Warriors in Golden State last month, and Brown scored a team-high 31 points in that game. Thursday's game in Boston is the final Celtics-Warriors matchup of the regular season.
