Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is battling through an ankle injury that he sustained during a game against the Atlanta Hawks on January 18. Despite not being listed on recent injury reports, Brown has been struggling with his explosiveness and finishing around the rim. In a recent blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Brown scored 17 points but shot just 7-for-19 from the field. The Celtics have been inconsistent in January, with a 7-5 record following an 8-6 December.
Despite their struggles, the Celtics remain the second-best team in the Eastern Conference with a 31-14 record. Brown emphasized the importance of balancing playing through injuries while also taking care of his body. The team has been fatigued from a busy schedule, playing their fifth game in seven nights against the Lakers. While the Celtics need to improve their performance, Brown remains determined to push through their challenges and help the team succeed.
