Another Celtics Player Suffered An Injury As Jaylen Brown Hurt His Hamstring

Saturday night’s Game 7 between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks featured a lot of green and plenty of desperation, which is to be expected in a game with these stakes. It also saw Boston lose one of its most important payers at the end of the second quarter.

Jaylen Brown left Game 7 with what appeared to be a right hamstring injury. Brown limped off the court favoring his right leg and went straight to the locker room to get treatment. He appeared to tell trainers it was “just a cramp” at first, but he did not return in the first half.

The Celtics eventually announced that, indeed, Brown hurt his hamstring.

Boston did take a 50-42 lead into the locker room, where they soon joined Brown. He tried running before the second half and struggled to do so, appearing on the court with a large black wrap over his compression pants.

Brown is of the few Celtics starters who managed to stay healthy into the postseason, so losing him was a big blow to the team on both ends of the court. TNT showed him working out on a stationary bike, trying to stretch out his hamstrings and find a way back onto the court.

Later in the third quarter, Brown was ruled as available to play by the Celtics.

He did not play in the third quarter, however, as the Celtics extended the lead with him stretching on the floor. Brad Stevens was interviewed between quarters and said he wasn’t told Brown was available and that he won’t play unless he gets the “100 percent go ahead” on the 21-year-old. The Celtics stood by their statement on Brown’s availability, but he was not on the court at the start of the fourth quarter.
