Is Jaylen Brown Playing vs Nuggets? Celtics Reveal Final Injury Report

Brown is a game-changer for the Celtics and he gives them a legitimate chance to win each time out on the floor. The star can perform well on both ends of the floor so his presence would be massively missed.

The star has been dealing with a nagging injury that saw him miss the team's game earlier this week against the Detroit Pistons. Brown has pushed through the injuries as he knows that he needs to be there for his team down the stretch of the season.

“I’ve had worse but it was decent enough that I couldn’t go in Detroit,” Brown said. “I didn’t feel my best to start the day today, but that’s a part of it. To get ready for later in the season, when you don’t always play your best either, you’ve just gotta come out and do what you’ve gotta do for your team. Tonight I felt like we had enough to win the game. We just came up short.”

Despite the two losses in a row, Boston has still won seven of their last 10 games overall. It has been a strong effort from this team but the last few games have shown a sign of sloppiness from the Celtics.

As they get ready to face off against the Nuggets, Boston will need to bring their A-game. Denver is one of the better teams in the NBA and this could be a potential NBA Finals preview.

Both sides will be looking to make a statement and we should be in for a great game between two good teams.
