Jaylen Brown looks set to stay and sign a long-term contract with the Boston Celtics despite his struggles in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat.
On Monday night, Heat star Jimmy Butler scored 28 points to lead his team past the Celtics with a 103-84 victory in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The result means Miami will face two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals, while the Celtics fall at the final hurdle for the fourth time in seven seasons.
Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum injured his left ankle early on and struggled with the injury throughout the contest, finishing with just 14 points while the Celtics shot a measly 9-for-42 from three as a unit. With Tatum battling on despite his injury, fans would have hoped to see Brown step up but the guard floundered throughout the series.
