Brown missed Monday's win over Milwaukee due to an illness but returned to action Wednesday.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Out Monday with illness
Rotowire
The Celtics have ruled out Brown for Monday's game against the Bucks due to a non-COVID illness.
Brown ended Sunday's 114-98 victory over Philadelphia with 27 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 38 minutes, but he's evidently feeling under the weather coming out of that game and will get a chance to rest up and recuperate for the second leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set. With Brown sitting, the Celtics will have more usage available for Derrick White and Payton Pritchard, while Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez could see upticks in playing time.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Comes close to triple-double
Rotowire
Brown ended Sunday's 114-98 victory over Philadelphia with 27 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 38 minutes.
Brown carried the Celtics once again -- as he's done pretty much all season long -- while finishing just two boards and two assists away from posting a triple-double. The star forward continues to have a career-best season in 2025-26, averaging a loaded line of 26.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game since the All-Star break. He needs to do a better job taking care of the ball since he's averaging 3.6 turnovers over that span, but with Brown delivering elite numbers across all categories, he's posted first-round value across all formats. Fantasy managers will live with that amount of turnovers as long as he continues to produce at this rate.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Productive in blowout win
Rotowire
Brown registered 28 points (9-12 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds, two steals and one block over 30 minutes during the Celtics' 148-111 win over the Nets on Friday.
Brown entered Friday's game having connected on just 34.7 percent of his field-goal attempts over his last two outings, and it looked like he was going to have another rough night after missing his first four free-throw attempts and each of his first two tries from the field. However, Brown settled in after a slow start, scoring 26 of his 28 points across the second and third quarters and co-leading the Celtics in scoring with Nikola Vucevic while also leading the team in assists. Brown has embraced his role as the clear No. 1 option this season, though Jayson Tatum has been progressing ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn right Achilles. It will be interesting to see what Brown's usage would look like if Tatum is indeed cleared to return to NBA action this season.

Brown (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game in Denver, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Brown rested on the front end of this back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action Wednesday evening with his usual workload. Brown's return should result in Ron Harper heading back to the second unit, and there will be fewer shots available for Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman.

Rotowire
Brown won't play in Tuesday's game against the Suns due to a bruised right knee, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Tuesday is the front end of a back-to-back, so it's possible the Celtics have an eye toward Brown being able to suit up for Wednesday's showdown against the Nuggets. Baylor Scheierman and Sam Hauser should see more playing time and are both worthy of streaming consideration Tuesday.

Rotowire
Brown is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to a right knee contusion, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brown didn't show any signs of the injury impacting his play Sunday, as he cruised to a 32-point day in a win over the Lakers. However, he's in jeopardy of sitting Tuesday after being added to the injury report. Brown will presumably test the knee during shootaround and in pre-game warmups to see if he's able to run the floor in Phoenix.

Rotowire
Brown (hamstring/knee) won't play Wednesday versus the Rockets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Brown will hit the sidelines for the second leg of a back-to-back due to a sore right knee and tightness in his left hamstring, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Rotowire
Brown is doubtful for Wednesday's game in Houston due to left hamstring tightness and right knee soreness, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
The Celtics are playing the second game of a back-to-back set, and Brown is dealing with ailments in two of his appendages, so he'll likely skip Wednesday's game. With Brown likely watching from the sidelines, there will be more minutes available for Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez, and guys like Payton Pritchard and Derrick White will be asked to step it up on offense.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Sitting out Friday
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring/knee) will not play Friday against the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brown was listed as doubtful heading into the day while he manages left hamstring tightness and a right knee contusion, so his absence Friday is fully expected. The Celtics haven't indicated that either injury is a major concern for Brown, but his status will still need to be monitored leading up to Sunday's game against the Bucks. His absence Friday should open up elevated minutes for Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman, while Derrick White, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons could see increased usage.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Struggles in loss to Atlanta
Rotowire
Brown recorded 21 points (9-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 loss to the Hawks.
The Celtics struggled to generate much offense and had a rough night from three-point territory, shooting 9-for-34 from beyond the arc. Brown didn't get a single three-pointer to fall in his 29 minutes of floor time, and per Jay King of The Athletic, he acknowledged after the game that he didn't play to his standards. It was an off night for the four-time All-Star, but managers can anticipate a bounce-back performance Friday with a favorable matchup against the Kings.
