Celtics list Jaylen Brown (hamstring) as doubtful for Game 2
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is doubtful for Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.
What It Means:
Brown left Game 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks with the injury, and already missed Game 1 against Philly. His status will be re-evaluated before the game on Thursday, so there is a chance he plays, but a return in Game 3 seems more likely. Look for Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart to do more heavy lifting.
If Brown does suit up, numberFire's models project him for 14.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 30.4 minutes of action.
