Jaylen Brown Injury: Celtics Guard Expected To Miss Time With Concussion

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens provided an update Saturday on Jaylen Brown, and the results were mixed.

Brown entered the NBA’s concussion protocol this week after a nasty post-dunk fall against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. And while Stevens revealed Brown suffered no structural damage, he did confirm the 21-year-old has a concussion and will not play Sunday night against the Indiana Pacers.

Here’s some additional info on Brown’s timetable, per MassLive’s Jay King:

As King noted, Brown and the Celtics are fortunate a more serious injury didn’t occur.

Still, a concussion is nothing to mess around with, and the C’s surely will play it safe with the talented young swingman.
