Jaylen Brown (private) to overlook Knicks-Celtics tomorrow

The Boston Celtics will likely be with out their common beginning 5 for another sport as Jaylen Brown is listed out tomorrow towards the New York Knicks because of private causes. Derrick White (proper ankle) is listed as possible, and he’ll doubtless begin rather than Brown he’s wholesome sufficient to play.

What’s attention-grabbing to observe on this situation is that Derrick White is the one Celtic participant to play in each single contest to date this yr. Sitting out tomorrow can be his first absence of the yr. With Brown out, White’s presence will likely be actually useful towards a surging New York group at the moment in fifth place within the Jap Convention.

Brown has been taking part in with a masks since his facial fracture shortly earlier than the All-Star break. Taking part in ultra-aggressive, he’s had a great stretch since coming back from the break. There’s no additional phrase if Brown’s private causes will preserve him out for Wednesday evening’s sport towards the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Past Brown and White, the harm report is obvious. That is encouraging as heavy minutes haven’t affected Robert Williams or Al Horford’s statuses. Grant Williams was recognized to be coping with an elbow problem, forcing him to put on a capturing sleeve. Nevertheless, he’s not on the harm checklist both.

The Celtics will deal with the New York Knicks tomorrow evening at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Celtics will look to carry on to the most effective report within the league because the Bucks, who’ve gained 14 video games in a row, are proper within the rearview mirror.
