Celtics Star’s Knee Invokes Nap Time!…

Hold onto your lucky leprechaun hats, Celtics fans, because Jaylen Brown is taking an unscheduled vacation—courtesy of his right knee. Yes, the team announced Friday night that our favorite forward with the dazzling dunks will sit out the next two games due to a cranky knee bearing a bone bruise with a fancy name, “posterior impingement.” Sounds serious enough to skip more than a couple of workouts, doesn’t it?

Brown plans to enjoy some quality bonding time with an ice pack while his team takes on the Jazz on Friday and does a salsa with the Trail Blazers on Sunday. Don’t worry, folks—the doctors will give the final verdict on Monday after consulting the oracle.

Despite his knee throwing a hissy fit, this guy has been a real hoop hero, playing in a whopping 56 out of 69 games this season. Averaging a cool 22.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and spreading the love with 4.7 assists each game, Jaylen’s absence will make those Celtics really miss their very own game day superman. So cross your fingers, throw some three-pointers in his honor, and hope for a speedy recovery!
