The Boston Celtics will face the Charlotte Hornets in their final regular-season tune-up game before the playoffs on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at TD Garden. However, the Celtics will be without Jaylen Brown, who has been dealing with a bone bruise in his right knee. Brown has been playing through the injury but was ineffective in the last game against the Knicks. Unfortunately, this means he will not hit the 65-game mark needed for postseason awards.
Brown has stated that the injury did not impact his decision to keep playing, but he will now get some rest as the Celtics prepare for the postseason. Other players on the team are not listed on the injury report for Friday’s game, so it seems like the main guys will get one last regular-season game before the playoffs. The Celtics are locked into the No. 2 seed in the East, so these final games hold no significance for the standings. Despite this setback, the team remains focused on getting ready for a strong playoff run.
