Boston Celtics Injury Report: Concerns Linger for Jaylen Brown With Multiple Players Listed vs. Cavaliers (Oct. 29)

The Boston Celtics renew their rivalry against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Ahead of the marquee matchup, Jaylen Brown is listed on the Celtics' injury report alongside Jayson Tatum. While Tatum remains out with right Achilles repair, Brown is "probable" to suit up.

The former NBA Finals MVP continues to manage his left hamstring strain and hasn't yet fully recovered from his injury. Brown has consistently made the injury report before games this season, with his status getting upgraded to "available" before tip off. He is yet to miss a game this season as he suited up in the previous four games.

Jaylen Brown was in action when the Celtics recorded their first win of the season with a 122-90 win by defeating the New Orleans Pelicans. The star forward scored 15 points in 24 points while also grabbing seven rebounds and recording four assists.

With Tatum out, a massive load of responsibility rests on Brown's shoulders. The veteran forward has relished the opportunity to lead the team and shown courage through his desire to play through pain.

"I had to get on the floor," Brown said after winning over the Pelicans. "We got to find a way to get a win. So, I was going to play until we figured that part out."

The four-time NBA champion has started the season strongly, with his 3-point shot improving significantly. Brown is averaging 26.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists while shooting 50.0% from the floor, including 47.8% from beyond the arc.
