Is Jaylen Brown playing tonight against Charlotte Hornets? Latest on Celtics 3x All-Star’s status (April 1)

Jaylen Brown, forward for the Boston Celtics, has been added to the team’s injury report as questionable for their upcoming game against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. This will be their second meeting of the season.

Despite losing two consecutive games without star guard Trae Young to the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics (58-16) were able to rebound and secure a 104-92 victory against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans, who had just defeated the Milwaukee Bucks at home, were unable to maintain their momentum against the Celtics.

Despite shooting at a slightly lower efficiency than their average, at 47.6%, all of the Celtics’ starters still managed to contribute double-digit points and sink at least one 3-pointer. The team’s defense was the highlight of the game, as they held the Pelicans to under 40.0% shooting. Additionally, the Celtics themselves had a strong showing from beyond the arc, shooting 40.5%.

Injury and Recovery of Jaylen Brown

In the last 10 games, Jaylen Brown has played in seven of Boston’s games, with one absence due to a hip contusion. Additionally, he was unable to play in the team’s victory against the Wizards on Sunday due to a persistent right ankle sprain, and he was also absent for the game against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.

Despite his injury being a recent development, he has been included in the injury report due to a sprained left hand. It is unclear when he will be able to return to play, as there is no clear indication of his recovery timeline.

After being evaluated by the team’s medical staff, a determination of his eligibility will be determined at game-time, taking into consideration the potential risk of further injury.

At first, Jaylen Brown was deemed questionable for the first leg of the back-to-back games against the Detroit Pistons. However, he was later cleared to play. But in a different situation, he was initially considered questionable for the Bulls matchup but was later downgraded.
