NBA Fans Concerned About Celtics' Jaylen Brown Injury News Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown’s latest injury news has NBA fans worried.
APRIL 13, 2025 • KANSASCITY.COM
Celtics Announce Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown News Before Hornets Game The Boston Celtics will face the Charlotte Hornets in their final game of the regular season.
APRIL 12, 2025 • SACBEE.COM
Al Horford - Out for regular-season finale Horford is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets due to a right knee sprain.
Impact The Celtics will rest all of their top players for the regular-season finale, meaning Boston will give extended minutes to non-regulars for this matchup versus Charlotte. Horford will have almost a full week of rest before the Celtics start their playoff run on April 19 against a to-be-determined opponent. This means Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta are likely to handle an expanded role in the frontcourt Sunday.
APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Brown - Not playing Sunday Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Impact As expected, Brown will miss Sunday's regular-season finale as he continues to work through a right knee posterior impingement. He received pain management injections in his right knee this past week, and the expectation is that the reigning NBA Finals MVP should be available for the first round of the postseason. Brown will finish the 2024-25 regular season averaging 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.3 minutes per game across 63 starts.
APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Derrick White - Sitting out regular-season finale White won't play in Sunday's game versus the Hornets due to a right neck sprain.
Impact White's neck injury is new, so it's unclear if it will impact him going forward. Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. White's next chance to suit up will come during Boston's playoff opener.
APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jrue Holiday - Sitting out Sunday Holiday (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game versus the Hornets.
Impact Holiday will sit out Boston's regular-season finale due to a right shoulder impingement. Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Holiday's next chance to suit up will come in the Celtics' playoff opener.
APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jayson Tatum - Won't play against Charlotte Tatum is out for Sunday's game versus the Hornets due to rest purposes.
Impact Tatum, along with Boston's other typical starters, will sit out the regular-season finale due to the team already being locked into the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Sam Hauser, Baylor Scheierman and Torrey Craig are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Tatum should be able to return to action for Boston's first-round matchup in the playoffs.
APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Not playing Sunday Porzingis (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Porzingis and the rest of the Celtics' top players will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale as Boston looks to embark on yet another deep postseason run. Porzingis missed the first 17 games of the season while recovering from offseason surgery on his left foot and ankle area, and he missed additional time due to a viral infection in mid March. The 2015 first-round pick will finish his second regular season in Boston averaging 19.6 points on 48.3 percent shooting (including a career-best 41.2 percent from three on 6.0 3PA/G), 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game across 42 starts.

JD Davison - Signing standard deal The Celtics are converting Davison to a standard, two-year contract Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Davison was previously on a two-way contract, splitting time between the Celtics' G League and NBA squads. However, Davison will now have the opportunity to compete for full-time minutes in the parent club's backcourt.

APRIL 12, 2025 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM
Jaylen Brown - Expected to be ready for playoffs Brown received pain management injections in his right knee this week and is expected to be ready for the start of the playoffs, Bobby Manning of Celtics on CLNS reports.
Impact Brown has sat out Boston's previous two contests due to a right knee posterior impingement and could sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against Charlotte. Brown cannot meet the 65-game requirement to be eligible for All-NBA awards, and the Celtics are locked into the second seed in the Eastern Conference, so there is no real incentive for him to play Sunday. However, the star forward should be able to suit up for the team's first-round matchup in the playoffs.
