Brown finished Monday's rout of the Los Angeles Lakers with 20 points, four rebounds, six assists and three steals, highlighting his night with a thunderous dunk on James in the third quarter.

The 23-year-old appeared to tweak his right ankle midway through fourth quarter, although he stayed in the game for about two more minutes before finally subbing out.

Brown had missed Boston's previous two games with a sprained right thumb, so the C's will be hoping his latest ailment is more minor as they aim to build on Monday's big win.
