The Boston Celtics are confident Jaylen Brown will be good to go for the playoffs after he sat out the final three games of the regular season with a right knee injury.

Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said that he is completely certain that shooting guard Jaylen Brown will be able to play in Boston's first game of the playoffs. "100% I'm confident in him," Mazzulla said. "Because of the work ethic he has, the mindset that he has and the preparation he puts himself in."

Despite the 28-year-old's limited availability compared to past years, he's remained one of the league's top two-way wings throughout his 2024-25 campaign. In 63 starts, he's averaged 22.2 points and a career-high 4.5 assists per game on 46.3/32.4/76.4 shooting splits.
