Jaylen Brown's knee injury was more serious than publicly known [Report]

Jaylen Brown ended the season with a partially torn meniscus, reported Ramona Shelbourne from ESPN on Saturday. He will be rated this week to determine whether surgery is required.

Brown missed the last three games of the regular season, but played in all 11 playoff games with an average of 22.3 points and 7.2 rebounds in 34 minutes per night. ESPN previously reported that he started maintaining pain injections in his knee in March.

He declined to discuss his injury in detail throughout the entire post -season. According to the Celtics injury report, the injury was officially regarded as the rise of the right knee. Before the second round, Brown said against the Knicks that he believed that he was 100%.

“I think I start turning the curve,” said Brown. “Structural everything is fine. I have a few other things in progress, but I think I'm somehow in the right direction.”

Nevertheless, it was obvious that he was limited and could not explode as he normally does in the off -season. His best performance of the post -season came in game 5 when he was broken 26 points and 12 assists only two days after Jayson Tatum was broken with an Achilles tendon.

“I don't make an excuses,” he said after the loss of the game 6. “Obviously it is difficult how we went out tonight and tonight, but the way we personally ended the year, how I ended the year and held through a few physical things through which I fought. I am proud of our group.”

Brown started to do with an injury to the right knee in mid-February and was missing two games before the All-Star break. In the second half of the season, he mostly pushed through the knee pain, but exposed himself in the last three games of the year to rest his knee.

Now he is one of several Celtics stars with uncertain health outside of the season. Tatum was subjected to the Achilles tendon on Tuesday because of his Achilles tendon and is expected to miss most, if not the entire next season, while Kristaps Porzingis continues to fight for continuing effects of a virus disease.
