Jaylen Brown is anticipated to make an appearance on the court against the New York Knicks on Monday, Oct. 9. This comes after the All-NBA wing played for the Boston Celtics in their preseason opener against the Philadelphia 76ers just a day earlier. The Celtics are now preparing for the second night of a back-to-back.
In the game against the 76ers, Brown managed to accumulate 19 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal within 25 minutes of playing time. The Georgia native demonstrated impressive shooting skills, making 70% of his shots from the field and one of his two attempts from the 3-point range. This marked Brown’s first game since signing a supermax contract extension earlier in the summer.
This season, Brown will be taking on a new role within the Celtics team. At times, he will become the third offensive option, playing behind Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis. This was evident during the game against the 76ers, where Brown was assigned the responsibility of leading the line and heading Joe Mazzulla’s team with the second unit.
The Celtics are looking forward to the remainder of the season, with Brown expected to make significant contributions to the team’s success. His role may differ from game to game but there’s no doubt that his skills and talent will continue to make an impact on the court. Fans and teammates alike will be eager to watch Brown’s performance throughout the season and support the Boston Celtics in their pursuit of victory.
