The Boston Celtics are littered with injuries, but the team soon could be getting back one of its starters.
Jaylen Brown has been out of action since suffering a scary fall in the Celtics’ win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 8. Luckily for Brown, he avoided a nightmarish injury, though he did spend time in the league’s concussion protocol.
And much to Boston’s delight, the second-year guard could be making his return to the court this weekend. Judging from Brown’s latest injury update, it sounds like a distinct possibility.
“I’m feeling a lot better. I’m just trying to hurry up and get back… I’m tired of not playing,” Jaylen Brown said with a smile. Adds that his most likely return would be in Sacramento.

There’s a chance Brown will be the only currently injured Celtic to return this season. Daniel Theis’ rookie campaign is over after season-ending knee surgery, and Marcus Smart will be sidelined for at least 6-8 weeks after undergoing thumb surgery. As for Kyrie Irving, the star point guard also might be looking into a procedure on his injured knee following a second medical opinion.
With these other injuries in mind, there’s no doubt the C’s need Brown back in the fold in a big way.
