The reigning MVP of the NBA finals could have trouble adapting to the playoffs this season.
The ESPN Ramona Shelburne reported Saturday morning that the Celtics star, Jaylen Brown, received pain handling injections in his right knee this week, continues to fight a bone bruise.
The injury has bothered for some time, but apparently Brown has bothered later, since the 6 -inch escort has lost seven of the last 15 Boston games. Only in the last two games he played, he may have bothered Bone, since he played only 21 minutes in each.
Against the Wizards, it was a victory for Brown’s team, so it was necessarily necessary in all its capacity. But in an extra time thriller against the Knicks on Tuesday, Brown was not used much in the second half or extra time.
Then he sat against Magic, which was a significant game to get lost, since he eliminated his chans to play 65 games and be eligible for any seasonal award or honors All-NBA.
Brown teammates are also seeing the effects that the injury has had on him, since Kristaps Porzingis spoke after the game on Tuesday about preserving Brown more advanced.
“[Brown’s] A hard guy, “Porzingis said.” He always preaches his warrior mentality. Live for that. But to what extent do we need that right now? You may need to take care of it and make sure you are ready for the most important moment. I think we must encourage him to make sure that DOE needs to prepare to be healthy and prepare for what will come. “
The Celtics are already locked as seed number 2 at the Eastern Conference and will face the winner of the game tournament between the Magic and the Hawks.
The Boston series against Orlando or Atlanta will begin next week on April 19 or 20, where the sources believe it will be ready to play.
While it may be ready, the need for pain handling injections could for a battle between Brown and their own health through playoffs, since cells seek to win consecutive championships.
