Jaylen Brown’s Recovery Update…

Jaylen Brown’s right knee is back in action almost faster than a cheetah on roller skates! Just ten weeks after arthroscopic surgery, he was already lighting up the Yao Ming Foundation charity game. The highlight was a play that would make even Luka Doncic’s jaw drop, featuring a fierce right-hand dunk. Previously, Brown seemed like he was dunking with the enthusiasm of a sloth, but now he’s back and bouncier than a kangaroo on a trampoline. It’s an impressive comeback, unlike my less-than-impressive post-surgery attempts at a slam dunk!

The Celtics’ future practically relies on Jaylen Brown’s knee, as much as a kangaroo relies on its tail for balance. When paired up with a fully-fit Jayson Tatum, the Celtics are almost as unstoppable as a bulldozer in a bouncy castle competition. Brad Stevens wants to keep Brown and Tatum together, but if juggling super max contracts becomes as tricky as watching an octopus trying to juggle chainsaws, swapping Brown could become a reality. In such a case, Brown’s health records would play a massive role in the resulting trade scenario.
