Another key member of the Boston Celtics is dealing with an injury. Jaylen Brown underwent an arthroscopic debridement procedure on his right knee Wednesday, the team announced.
Brown, 28, will spend the offseason rehabbing from the injury. He is expected to be ready for training camp “without limitation,” per the Celtics.
Brown won’t be the only big-name Celtics player rehabbing an injury this offseason. Star Jayson Tatum sustained an Achilles injury during the team’s Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks. The team has not announced a timeline for Tatum’s recovery.
Since being selected with the third overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Brown has developed into a superstar with the Celtics. While Brown struggled to put up big scoring numbers early in his career, he has averaged 23.5 points per game over the past five seasons. He’s made four All-Star teams and has one appearance on the All-NBA second team over that period.
Brown turned in yet another solid campaign last season, averaging 22.2 points and 5.8 rebounds. If the injury affected Brown in the playoffs, he didn’t show it. He averaged 22.1 points and 7.1 rebounds in 11 postseason games before the Celtics were eliminated.
