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.

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.
