The playoffs start this weekend and Jaylen Brown is expected to be ready despite a nagging knee injury that has plagued him for a while.

Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has been dealing with what the team's injury report lists as a "right knee posterior impingement" over the last several weeks. The two-way star has missed a slew of games down the stretch for Boston and recently received a painkilling shot ahead of what they hope to be an NBA title-defending playoff run.

Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla has confirmed a report that Jaylen Brown received injections during the week to help his troublesome right knee that’s limited his playing time the past month.
