Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Questionable to play Friday
Rotowire
Brown is listed as questionable to play Friday against the Magic due to a right adductor strain.
The potential absence of Brown could represent a huge blow for the Celtics, especially since Jrue Holiday (ankle) is also carrying an injury designation. Not having their second-best scorer could be massive for Boston, and if Brown ends up being ruled out, then Sam Hauser would be in line to earn a bigger role. Brown is averaging 21.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.9 minutes across his first 14 appearances.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Leads offense in win
Rotowire
Brown had 26 points (10-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-116 victory over the Bucks.
Brown finished with team highs in points and assists during a convincing win over another Eastern Conference contender. His eight dimes were also a season-high mark, and his solid scoring night snapped a two-game slump. Brown has been a bit inconsistent to start 2023-24, but he's still averaging 21.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.9 minutes across his first 14 appearances.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
Brown finished with 13 points (5-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Monday's 121-118 overtime loss to the Hornets.
While Jayson Tatum (45 points) had everything working, Brown couldn't do anything right. It was a disappointing overtime loss for the Celtics, and Brown has now dropped back-to-back duds, totaling just 25 points (10-33 FG), 10 rebounds and six assists over his last two appearances. Before his recent shooting slump, Brown averaged 22.9 points on 47.2 percent shooting over his first 11 appearances of the season, so fantasy managers can expect a bounce-back performance soon.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Makes impact defensively
Rotowire
Brown closed with 12 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 102-100 win over the Grizzlies.
Brown was listed as questionable for the contest due to an adductor strain, but he was cleared to suit up for a second straight game after missing a Nov. 15 matchup versus Philadelphia due to an illness. Brown struggled offensively in the narrow win over Memphis, but he salvaged his production with multiple tallies in each defensive category for the first time this season. Across 12 appearances, the veteran forward is averaging 22.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.8 minutes per game.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Availability still undetermined
Rotowire
Brown, who's listed as questionable due to an adductor strain, participated in the Celtics' shootaround ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Memphis, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
Brown will test his groin throughout the team's morning shootaround prior to a decision being made on his availability. Given Sunday's contest is the first half of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Boston exercise caution with its star forward. Sam Hauser would presumably be the main beneficiary if Brown is unable to suit up.

Rotowire
Brown (groin) is questionable to play Sunday against Memphis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown is dealing with a right adductor strain. Sunday's contest coming against the injury-riddled Grizzlies may lead the Celtics to operate with an abundance of caution and give Brown extra time to heal. He has missed only one contest this year, which was due to an illness.

Rotowire
Brown (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Absent from shootaround
Rotowire
Brown (illness), who is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, wasn't present for the team's morning shootaround, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Brown's absence from shootaround isn't particularly surprising since the 27-year-old was a late addition to Boston's injury report due to a non-COVID illness. The Celtics will presumably continue to monitor him in the hours leading up to tipoff, but Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard could see increased roles if Brown sits out Wednesday.

Brown finished Saturday's 117-94 win over Toronto with 29 points (12-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes.
Brown has been on a tear of late and has eclipsed the 25-point mark in three of his last four appearances, and he keeps showing the ability to lead the Celtics offensively when called upon duty. Even though he is sharing the offensive load with Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, Brown is averaging a respectable 23.0 points per game this season.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Scores 28 points against Brooklyn
Rotowire
Brown delivered 28 points (10-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Friday's 121-107 win over the Nets.
Brown led the Celtics in scoring Friday, but perhaps even more importantly, he managed to bounce back from a sloppy 11-point effort against the 76ers on Wednesday. The 27-year-old is firmly entrenched as Boston's second-best scoring option behind Jayson Tatum, and while Brown has had a few ups and downs to start the year, he has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances.

Rotowire
Brown had 11 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the 76ers.
Brown managed to score in double figures once again Wednesday, but he matched his lowest scoring total of the season during the narrow loss. The 27-year-old hasn't had much success from beyond the arc in recent matchups, as he's converted just 25.9 percent of his three-point attempts over his last four appearances. However, he's still shooting 35.3 percent from long distance this year and should have better scoring performances when he can rediscover his shooting stroke.
