Jaylen Brown Hasn’t Ruled Out Surgery For Injured Knee

Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown met with members of the media at an event for his sneaker and apparel company 741 Performance. Brown said this is the first time he plans to spend most of the offseason in Boston. Brown also said that it’s possible that surgery could still be on the table to repair the partially torn meniscus in his right knee.

“l got a lot of doctors I gotta get evaluated with – see the potential for surgery versus no surgery, wait to speak to the [Celtics] organization,” Brown said. “For now, it’s just rest and recovery. I’m taking a step back from a long season. Mentally, it was a lot of stuff going on.”

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens was optimistic about Brown’s recovery when he met with the media last week.

“The knee is in a good place, structurally,” Stevens said. “So, I think he felt comfortable getting out there and going after it, and, hopefully, he’ll feel better after being off of it for a couple of weeks here.”
