Joe Mazzulla Discusses Injury Management of Jaylen Brown
Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla recently addressed Jaylen Brown’s absence from the lineup due to a right knee posterior impingement. Brown sat out during the team’s matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, adding to his growing list of missed games this season.
When questioned about Brown’s condition, Mazzulla emphasized the collaborative approach to managing player injuries. “You trust him, you trust the sports science team, you trust the trainers,” Mazzulla explained during his press conference. He noted that Brown has been diligent about his physical maintenance and rehabilitation.
Communication between Mazzulla and Brown regarding the injury has been somewhat challenging. In a lighter moment, Mazzulla commented that their conversations about the hip injury were difficult because “We both kind of mumble when we talk.”
Despite missing 16 games this season, Brown continues to perform at an elite level when available:
