Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics had their 2024-25 season come to an end when they lost Friday's Game 6 to the New York Knicks by a score of 119-81.

On Saturday, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported that Brown had been dealing with a major injury during the series.

Via Shelburne: "Celtics forward Jaylen Brown wasn’t just playing through pain during the playoffs, he finished the season with a partial meniscus tear, sources told ESPN. He’ll be evaluated this week to determine whether surgery is necessary."

Many people reacted to the news on social media.

@CelticsGRD: "Celtics Injuries for those keeping track:

Jaylen Brown – Meniscus Tear

Jrue Holiday – Hamstring & Mallet Finger

Jayson Tatum – Wrist & Ruptured Achilles

Kristaps Porzingis – Viral Illness

Sam Hauser – Ankle & Back"

Jack Simone: "Jaylen Brown was playing through a partial meniscus tear. He hinted last night that the injury was more than people know. This is almost certainly why."

@dfaustt: "It’s not really a debate Jaylen Brown forsure needs to get the surgery and take the long term route of recovery"

@KenMantia: "Jaylen Brown played playoffs with torn Meniscus. Man he’s a stud. In retrospect don’t think he dunked all playoffs so should have known it was pretty bad."

@gabe_blessed: "Jaylen Brown definitely has his lows, but he goes to war for us man. The only guy on the floor trying in Game 6. Hope he’s a Celtic for a long time ☘️"

@Tatums0Burner: "Jaylen Brown fought through a partially torn meniscus.

Thank you JB❤️"

@MisterMellowww: "Jaylen Brown has so much dog in him, I will never slander him for his work in the playoffs this year"

Noa Dalzell: "Wow. Jaylen Brown played through a meniscus tear."

Brown finished his ninth NBA season (all with the Celtics) averaging 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 46.3% from the field and 32.4% from the three-point range in 63 games.
