Jaylen Brown has been one of the NBA\u2019s most durable players over the last decade, playing 639 regular-season games, 135 postseason games and counting through his first 10 seasons for the Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n
Brown plays hard on both ends of the floor, however, aggressively attacking the basket on offense and locking down opponents on defense. That two-way effort<\/a> takes a toll on a player\u2019s body sooner or later.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Sure enough, Brown has sustained multiple significant injuries over the years, not all of which have been revealed to the media. He\u2019s played through many of them, toughing it out for the good of the team and often playing at less than 100 percent.<\/p>\n After Friday\u2019s 125-117 win<\/a> over the Toronto Raptors, Brown opened up<\/a> about his recent injuries and recoveries.<\/p>\n \u201cI tore all my ligaments in my wrist in 2021 and I\u2019ve had some procedures and stuff post that\u2026 I\u2019ve had some chips in my wrist over the last couple years\u2026 I\u2019ve had some issues,\u201d Brown admitted during his postgame press conference.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t usually tell the media or the world about it, but I\u2019ve had some issues with my left wrist,\u201d Brown continued. \u201cBut I\u2019ve always felt like my whole life I\u2019ve been able to get to my off-hand. I\u2019ve dunked on people with my left hand. You know, never had an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Brown\u2019s had some issues dribbling with his left hand in the past, so the injuries might be to blame for that.<\/p>\n Otherwise, he hasn\u2019t let them slow him down. He\u2019s only gotten better with age and is having the best season of his career at age 29, averaging personal bests in points and assists.<\/p>\n With Jayson Tatum sidelined, the Celtics are counting on Brown to stay healthy and continue his elite play<\/a> in Tatum\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n More Celtics:<\/p>\n
