Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said that he is completely certain that shooting guard Jaylen Brown will be able to play in Boston's first game of the playoffs. "100% I'm confident in him," Mazzulla said. "Because of the work ethic he has, the mindset that he has and the preparation he puts himself in."

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla on Sunday confirmed a report that Jaylen Brown received injections during the week to help his troublesome right knee that’s limited his playing time the past month.

The Boston Celtics are confident Jaylen Brown will be good to go for the playoffs after he sat out the final three games of the regular season with a right knee injury.
