For the game, the Celtics will be without one of their best players, as Jaylen Brown has been ruled out. The 2024 NBA Finals MVP has missed each of the previous three games, so this will be his fourth straight out of the lineup.

Jaylen Brown missed his third consecutive game with a hip flexor strain Wednesday night, sitting out the Celtics’ highly anticipated matchup with the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden. Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla shared a brief update on Brown’s status during his pregame news conference.

Effective communication is important between a coach and his star player, but apparently, it does not always come naturally for Mazzulla and Brown. Boston’s head coach wasn’t able to provide much information about the wing because, according to Mazzulla, they both mumble.

Boston ruled out three players for its Friday night matchup against the Brooklyn Nets at TD Garden: wing Jaylen Brown and centers Luke Kornet and Kristaps Porzingis.

The Boston Celtics have started out their new season with a record of 6-1, picking up where they left off from last year. But they are currently dealing with some injuries, one in the form of star forward Jaylen Brown.

Jaylen Brown has been operating a new role to begin the season. The Boston Celtics star spent last season as the team's tone-setter, leading the line during the first quarter of games and getting the roster off to a hot start.

The Celtics will play their fourth straight game without Jaylen Brown, who is out as he continues to recover from a strained hip flexor.
