Boston wing Jaylen Brown suffered a right ankle sprain in the first quarter of the Celtics’ game against the Hawks on Tuesday.
Brown was driving to the basket with 9:15 to play in the first quarter when he went down and immediately grabbed his right leg. The 25-year-old lost control of the ball and stayed down until Boston called a timeout. He immediately went to the locker room, and the Celtics subsequently announced that the injury was a sprain. Brown did not return to the game.
