Celtics' Brad Stevens offers Jaylen Brown Knie injury -update

The President of Boston Celtics's basketball operations, Brad Stevens, tackled a handful of topics during the press conference at the end of the season at the end of the season, including the knee injury, which annoyed Jaylen Brown during the playoffs.

Brown dealt with a partially torn meniscus that could require an operation, but it was only unveiled until the Celtics were removed by the New York Knicks in the second round. The 28-year-old tried to bring the team past the Knicks after losing Jayson Tatum against a devastating Achilles tendon, but Brown's courage wasn't enough.

Now it is time for Celtics and Brown to further evaluate the injury to a critical off -season.

“He saw our team (doctors) and a few other people, and as he said a few weeks ago, the knee is structurally in a good place,” said Stevens via NBC Sports Boston. “So I think he felt comfortable to get out of it and go to it, and hopefully he will feel better after haven't been of it for a few weeks. That is the unfortunate part that we do in mid -May, but some of these boys have a few nicks, bruises and other things that will be good to rest.”

Brown scored 26 points, won eight rebounds and achieved 12 assists to bring the semi -finals of the Eastern Conference into a game 6. The four-time all-star seemed to be good from the distance, since Brown's aggression, intensity and on the square on the square were the probability of a 3: 1 deficit for the Celtus. But when Jalen Brunson's Knicks returned to Madison Square Garden to accommodate Boston in game 6, everything collapsed for the defending champions when Brown still kept 2:50 in the third quarter.

From there she wrote everything she wrote for Brown and the Celtics.

Boston received 22.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.9 production templates from Brown in the playoffs, while MVP last season was fighting the NBA final of last season to ignore a continuing knee injury, about which everyone was aware of within the organization.

“It was something he had for a while and it was stable,” said Steven. “And he played with it. So that's a few scans through and through. So we knew it for a long time and he knew it for a long time. But it only tells you that it takes care of these boys. They take care of it. They take care of playing. They take care of it.

Two years ago, Brown signed a contract extension of five years by $ 304 million, which was signed in NBA history at that time.

Since then, Brown has answered questions about the decision of the franchise to commit a record amount with two straight elite seasons at the time. He worked enormously to organize the co-star Jayson Tatum with the co-star Jayson Tatum and to organize the team on the regular season and an eight playoff appearance with Tatum.

The Celtics are already preparing to survive most of the next season without Tatum's services, and regardless of Brown's timeline, the organization is willing to make a handful of important changes before returning to the opening evening in October.
