Jaylen Brown from Celtics gives a positive knee injury update in front of the Knicks series

The Boston Celtics did not celebrate their championship quest at Full Health when the team joined the Orlando Magic with a banging Jaylen Brown.

The All-Star wing was visibly limited in the last few weeks of the regular season and missed some games in the route with what Boston described as the “Right Knee Posterior Impingement”. During this time, Brown was open with the media when he was not 100%, he did not expect that he would soon get better, and it was important that he was going through the injury so that he can still have an impact in the off -season.

As soon as the playoffs actually started, Brown did not look particularly limited. The reigning final MVP played almost as well as last season in the Celtics championship while eliminating magic in five games. In game 2 he played exceptionally well and scored 36 points when Jayson Tatum failed for the first time in his post -season career.

Based on the Augentest, it certainly seemed as if Brown's state had improved, and he confirmed just as much when he spoke to reporters on Saturday and had a positive update of his knee injury when the Celtics prepare for taking over the New York Knicks.

“I think I start turning the curve,” said Brown when he was asked about his health to leave the first round. “In a structural everything is fine. I have some other things in progress, but I think I'm in the right direction.”

Brown's physicality and sportiness are not only the key to his game, but also how he leads the Celtics. Only a fully healthy brown (or something nearby) can guard the best player of the opponent for 30 minutes per game, while at every occasion you racing in the quick break and the defenders beat one to one with strength and speed. These were qualities that Brown lacked in the last games of the regular season, but seemed to be regained against magic.

With the second round that tips on Monday, the Celtics are certainly happy to hear that Brown improves health.
