Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics will be taking on De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings tonight. Most NBA fans should be aware that there are only a handful of games left in the regular season. The Celtics have dominated the league all season long and currently hold the best record with 60 wins and 16 losses.
In comparison to the Celtics, the Kings haven’t been doing as well. Nonetheless, the team has done well enough to compete for a spot in the Western Conference playoffs and currently occupies the 8th spot with a record of 44 wins and 32 losses. As both these teams get ready to face off, one might want to know the injury reports and expected rosters. Moreover, a prediction regarding the outcome of this game will also be made.
Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable for the Boston Celtics vs Sacramento Kings game tonight
Celtics fans will certainly be disappointed to hear that Brown does not look completely healthy at the moment. After all, he is one of the best players on his team and a franchise cornerstone alongside Jayson Tatum.
According to the injury reports, Brown sustained a hand injury and potentially tore a ligament during the Celtics’ most recent game against the OKC Thunder. Therefore, he is listed as questionable for this game. Since Boston is significantly ahead of other teams at this point in time and has no risk of losing their position, it would be wise to rest Brown in order for him to be fully healed for the playoffs.
