Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jaylen Brown received a painkilling shot in his right knee as the franchise gears up to defend its NBA title in the upcoming postseason, sources told Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.
Brown has been dealing with what the team has called "right knee posterior impingement." He has been listed on the team's injury report with the knee issue since March 2, and has missed a string of games due to the injury. In doing so, Brown won't reach the 65-game threshold required to qualify for awards and All-NBA consideration.
