Tough guy! Brown fights with injuries for 2 months: the meniscus is partially torn, the 300 million Celtic ace is really cruel

The Celtics were eliminated 2-4, and ESPN reporter Ramona Shelben disclosed Jaylen Brown's specific injury on May 18. Brown's knee injury was actually a partial tear of the meniscus on his right knee. Brown played in the last month of the regular season and during the playoffs until his sixth loss to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, according to sources. Brown has been receiving knee pain injections since March. In other words, he fought with injuries for two months. Brown will next undergo further evaluation to determine if surgery is required.

"Losing to the Knicks feels like a dead time. But I have been taught that death is rebirth." Brown said after losing Game 6. In that game, Brown made 8 of 20 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and 6 fouls and 7 mistakes. Brown left the game without finishing the third quarter.

"It's painful, especially ending the season in this way. It's not our year," Brown said. This season, the Celtics lost to injuries. Brown had a knee injury and had been fighting with injuries. Holiday had a hamstring injury and performed poorly after returning. Porzingis was in a sluggish state due to virus infection. The most painful blow was that Tatum suffered a severe injury to a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Yes, the Celtics have been so lucky this season. "Personally, I've gone through something that needs to be gritted," Brown said. For the past two months, Brown has been fighting injuries every day, receiving treatment, and gritting his teeth and fighting with injuries.

Brown said he had been struggling with physical problems. He said: "This journey is not the end, and it is far from over for me. You just need to face it with your head high. Although Tatum's injury looks a bit bleak now, there are still many things to look forward to. I hope the city can stay excited."

Brown was also asked whether he needed knee surgery, and he said: "There is nothing to talk about at the moment." Brown said he would wait and see the follow-up situation before deciding on the next plan.

For this 2024 Finals MVP, the performance this season is indeed unsatisfactory, and it even seems to have deteriorated. Brown played 63 games in the regular season, averaging 34.2 minutes per game, scoring 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting percentage of 46.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 32.4% set a career low. Brown played 11 games in the playoffs, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 22.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, shooting 44.1% from the field and 33.3% from three-point shooting percentage.

Brown's annual salary this season has reached US$49.2 million, ranking first in the team. Objectively speaking, his performance this season is not comparable to his high salary. Brown has a $304 million deal for six years, and he has suffered many doubts in the playoffs. But Brown showed this behavior when he suffered a partial meniscus laceration injury in his right knee. Brown seems extremely valuable and rare. After all, fighting with injuries is a risky act and may have to bet on your entire career.

The Celtics' two sluts were both sick and suffered serious injuries. The Celtics are likely to adjust their lineup during the offseason. They first need to determine whether to continue to focus on Double Tanhua. Next season, Brown and Tatum's annual salary total exceeded $100 million. In the past few years, there have been constant rumors from the outside world that the Celtics may break up the two Tanhuas, but the Celtics did not break up Brown and Tatum. Their persistence has paid off and the team won the championship last season.

However, the NBA is a business world again. When the team's salary exceeds the standard next season and Tatum may be absent next season, the Celtics may consider whether to break up the double-Tanhua. Of course, they are more likely to continue to build a team around the Double Tanhua, but adjust their helpers around them.
