The Boston Celtics didn't embark upon their championship quest at full health, as the team entered first-round play against the Orlando Magic with a banged-up Jaylen Brown.
The All-Star wing was visibly limited over the final weeks of the regular season and missed several games down the stretch with what Boston called "right knee posterior impingement." Brown was open while speaking with media during this time that he was not at 100%, he didn't anticipate getting better anytime soon, and it was important for him to try to play through the injury so he can still make an impact in the postseason.
