Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Fills stat sheet in win Monday
Rotowire
Brown had 26 points (8-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 114-108 victory over the Jazz.
Brown was tasked with leading the Celtics on offense due to the absence of Jayson Tatum (knee), and although Sam Hauser ended up exploding for a career-high 33 points, there's no question Brown posted an outstanding stat line as well. He finished just two boards and three assists away from recording a triple-double, although he would've had even better numbers had he been efficient from three-point range. Brown is averaging 25.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game since the end of the All-Star break.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Hits for 31 points in victory
Rotowire
Brown racked up 31 points (13-25 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three steals in 42 minutes during Saturday's 111-101 victory over the Lakers.
Brown returned after a one-game absence and completed a well-rounded performance against the Lakers. Brown seems to add an extra gear when he plays the Lakers, as his historical data against the team is excellent. Brown and Jayson Tatum combined for 71 points, comprising 63.9 percent off the team's production. Brown's knee injury has resulted in absences during back-to-back sets, but the team won't see another one of those until next weekend.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Brown will not play Thursday against the 76ers due to a right knee posterior impingement, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Brown logged 40 minutes against Portland on Wednesday night despite battling an illness. Therefore, it's not a surprise to see the Celtics exercise caution. Guys like Payton Pritchard and Jordan Walsh could be more involved Thursday, and the same is true for Sam Hauser if he can shake off his questionable tag due to an ankle sprain.

Brown (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Under the weather
Rotowire
Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Teammate Kristaps Porzingis has missed three of the Celtics' last four games due to a non-COVID illness, and it appears Brown is working through the same issue. Boston is dealing with a number of injuries to the top of its rotation including Brown, Jayson Tatum (shoulder), Derrick White (back), Payton Pritchard (hip) and Jrue Holiday (finger). These injuries open the door for Sam Hauser, Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh and Torrey Craig to see more minutes, so tracking the Celtics' injury report heading into Wednesday's game is imperative.

Brown returned from a one-game absence due to a thigh problem and did it in style after notching his second-best scoring output of the campaign in a game that could very well be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals later in the year.

Rotowire
Brown (thigh), who is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland, participated in shootaround Friday, Celtics beat reporter Bobby Krivitsky reports.
Brown missed Wednesday's loss to Detroit due to the thigh injury, though his participation in shootaround bodes well for his status Friday.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Appears to tweak leg Tuesday
Rotowire
Brown finished Tuesday's 111-101 win over the Raptors with 24 points (10-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes.
Brown led both teams in scoring Tuesday and did most of his damage in the second quarter with 11 points, though it appeared he may have tweaked his leg late in the frame, per Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe. Brown was limited to just 12:36 of playing time in the second half, and his injury status will be worth closely monitoring as the Celtics play the second leg of their back-to-back set Wednesday against the Pistons. If Brown is unable to play, expect a larger workload for Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser and even Baylor Scheierman and JD Davison.

Brown missed two straight games due to right knee soreness prior to All-Star Weekend, but his availability Sunday bodes well for his status going forward. Brown should be ready to roll for Thursday's game against the 76ers, resulting in fewer minutes for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Ruled out against San Antonio
Rotowire
Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown will miss a second straight game due to right knee soreness. Boston's decision to hold out the forward is likely a precautionary measure, considering he'll have the NBA All-Star break to get some much-needed rest before the team's next game Feb. 20 in Philadelphia. Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard should get bumps in playing time Wednesday due to Brown's absence.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brown continues to deal with right knee swelling, jeopardizing his status against San Antonio. Considering Wednesday is Boston's final contest ahead of the All-Star break, it wouldn't be shocking for the club to exercise caution with the star forward. While Sam Hauser would get a boost in streaming appeal if Brown sits out, Payton Pritchard would also be set for an expanded role off the bench.
