When it comes to Jaylen Brown’s knee issue, Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla is not in a fear mode.

Brown didn’t play in Monday night’s game on the road against the Toronto Raptors because his right knee was too far bent. He has only missed three games this season.

But Mazzulla isn’t worried about Brown’s injury and gave good news about the Celtics star player before they played the Raptors.

There is a video of Mazzulla telling reporters, “He’s doing well.” “My knee hurts a little. He got treatment today and was at shootaround. We expect him to be fine from now on. Brown had just had one of his best games of the season when he scored 32 points on 11-for-15 shooting from the field and added six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks in a 145-113 win over the Houston Rockets. Ime Udoka also made his return.

Brown might only be sick enough for the Celtics to use his absence as an excuse to give him a night off. Before their game against the Raptors, Brown had played in the most games for the Celtics. Boston had already beaten the Raptors three times this season, so they probably thought they could beat them again without Brown’s help. This week is also busy for the Celtics. On Wednesday, they face the San Antonio Spurs, and on Friday, they play the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets. After that, they go on a three-game road trip that starts with back-to-back games against the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks in Texas.

As the team that looks like it will win the NBA Finals, it is very important to give Brown a break and keep him fit. He is scoring 23.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game.
