Getty Boston Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown
The Pelicans may meet the Celtics without Anthony Davis tonight, but the Celtics will be missing a starter of their own. Jaylen Brown was ruled out for tonight’s game because of a back injury.
Jaylen Brown has been downgraded from doubtful to OUT for tonight’s game at the New Orleans Pelicans.
Brown contributed 16 points in Saturday’s loss against the Dallas Mavericks and is a regular starter for the struggling Celtics team. They’re a disappointing 10-10 on the season, and every game lately has been a desperate attempt to fix what hasn’t been clicking. Without Brown in the lineup it’ll be all that more difficult.
The 22-year-old guard was averaging 11.1 points per game before the injury, and it’s unclear how long he’ll be absent.
The two teams will face off tonight at 7:00 pm CST.
