Brown has already earned four All-Star honors and is playing at an All-NBA level this season, averaging career highs in points (29.7) and assists per game (4.8) while shooting a career-best 50.6% from the field.
The 29-year-old has also been durable this season, missing just two of the Celtics’ first 31 contests.
