Celtics' Brad Stevens gives new details on Jaylen Brown's knee injury

How bad is Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown's torn meniscus?

Following Boston's exit from the playoffs, reports surfaced that Brown had been playing for some time with a partially torn meniscus.

On Monday, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens met with reporters, and not surprisingly, fielded questions about Brown's knee.

Here's what Stevens said, per multiple Celtics beat writers.

Per CLNS Media's Noa Dalzell:

"What was reported this weekend, that's been something that he's had for a while," Stevens said. "I think he actually felt better, at least he told me he felt better at the end of the Knicks series."

"The knee's in a good place, structurally. I think he felt comfortable going out there. Hopefully, he'll feel better after being off of it for a few weeks."

“Jaylen wants to play. Jaylen’s a competitor. Jaylen's a warrior. Jaylen takes great pride in being out there,” Stevens added, per Taylor Snow.
