Ever since Celtics forward Jaylen Brown suffered a facial fracture in February, he’s had to play while wearing a protective face mask during games. As he gets further removed from the initial injury, he’s getting closer to being able to take the mask off.
However, Brown explained there isn’t a definitive timetable for that.
“I think it’s not fully healed. I think what they said, like, you got like six weeks until the cartilage starts to grow back so you’re, I guess, safe if you were to take another hit,” Brown said, via Justin Leger of NBC Sports Boston. “But you still got like another six weeks before I guess it fully gets back to where it is or where it's supposed to be.”
