The Boston Celtics are closely monitoring the tight hamstring of star forward Jaylen Brown ahead of their 2022 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals series with the Milwaukee Bucks kicking off on Sunday afternoon, but at least for now find themselves in a better position healthwise than the reigning NBA champs. The Bucks recently got word they will be without their second-leading scorer — All-Star forward Khris Middleton — for the entirety of the series with a grade two MCL sprain.
This is of course a massive hit to Milwaukee’s depth in what could prove to be the toughest series either team plays in this postseason.
