Jaylen Brown believes that knee is in the right direction before the Celtics-Knicks series “

Jrue Holiday was also “able to work on everything he wanted to work,” said Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla.

Although Jaylen Brown had played all five games of the Celtics victory in the first round against magic, there were still some concerns about the knee injury that restricted him in the last month of the regular season. However, Brown feels less concerned about it.

The Star Wing the Celtics announced that his knee in game 1 on Monday is progressing against the Knicks in the semi -finals of the Eastern Conference.

“I have the feeling that I personally and our group are doing well,” said Brown on Saturday. “For myself, I only try to trend towards 100 percent again in the direction of 100 percent [Holiday]JT (Jayson Tatum) missed a game – to be able to take on a role. I feel decent. Now it is a completely different ball game, different teams, different challenges. My focus is on it.

In a follow-up question, Brown was asked if he had the feeling of being in the right direction with his knee because his minutes rose.

“I'll take it one day after the other, but I think so,” replied Brown. “I think I'm starting to turn the curve. In structural everything is fine. There is a few other things going on, but I think I'm in the right direction.”

The improved status of Brown's knee is obviously positive news for the Celtics. Brown was loaded from mid -March to the end of the regular season because a bone bloody cast in his right knee was missing eight of the last 16 games. In the last eight regular season games he played, Brown did not play for more than 29 minutes.

Brown also received a pain reliever in his right knee last week of the regular season, which contributed to the concerns of the injury. But in the first round he played over 30 minutes in all five games, including two 41-minute excursions. He also seemed to have part of his backback, made several highlight durve and scored efficient points when Tatum was in game 2. He achieved an average of 23 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, while he shot 49.4 percent from the field and 44.4 percent.

However, since Brown achieved an average of 35.8 minutes per game in the series, he remained an integral part in the injury report. Also on holidays came into the injury report and missed the last three games of the Magic series due to a thigh injury.

Celtics trainer Joe Mazzulla informed the reporters on Friday that the vacation with the thigh injury was still “daily”, but he offered a more encouraging update on Saturday.

“He could work on everything he wanted to work on,” said Mazzulla. “He gets better every day.”

While the vacation had a relatively cautious regular season (11.1 points per game), he was largely impressive in the three games he played against the Knicks this season. The 34-year-old security guard scored an average of 16 points per game and scored 66.7 percent from the field and 57.2 percent of Deep.

Of course, the Celtics would also like to have the all-NBA-caliber defense of holiday against Knicks-Star Jalen Brunson. The vacation also played its most effective basketball when the playoffs fell out last season and had performed outstanding in each of the last three rounds on the way to a title.
