Brown (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
The Celtics have locked up the No. 2 seed in the East, so there's not much incentive for Brown to play through Achilles tendinitis in Boston's final game of the regular season. Jayson Tatum (Achilles), Derrick White (knee) and Payton Pritchard (foot) are expected to join Brown on the sidelines Sunday, so guys like Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and Dalano Banton should be slated for major minutes and prominent roles on offense.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Questionable Friday
Rotowire
Brown (Achilles) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown sat out Thursday's loss to the Knicks and is in danger of missing the second half of Boston's back-to-back as well. Jayson Tatum (rest) has already been ruled out, so if Brown joins him, Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez would be candidates for increased roles.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Questionable vs. New York
Rotowire
Brown is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to left Achilles tendinitis.
The Celtics are listing the majority of the starting lineup as questionable, but it wouldn't be surprising if Brown is cleared and given the green light to play in this rivalry matchup.

Rotowire
Brown posted 26 points (11-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 win over the Raptors.
Brown pulled down his 3,000th career defensive rebound in this one, becoming just the eighth Celtic in franchise history to reach that milestone since the NBA began tracking such stats in 1973-74.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Teases triple-double sans Tatum
Rotowire
Brown finished Monday's 112-102 loss to the Hawks with 29 points (9-29 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-14 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 40 minutes.
Brown returned Monday from a two-game absence due to left Achilles tendinitis. As he has for most of the 2025-26 season, Brown served as the Celtics' clear No. 1 option without Jayson Tatum (rest), and the former's counting stats showed that. Brown led the Celtics in points, rebounds and assists while finishing one dime shy from his fourth triple-double of the season (second since the All-Star break). However, he missed 26 shots from the field and charity stripe (out of 43 attempts) and was responsible for six of the Celtics' 15 turnovers. Brown and Tatum should share the floor when they visit Miami on Wednesday to take on the Heat.

Rotowire
Brown (Achilles) is good to go for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Brown is set to return from a two-game absence after missing the front end of this back-to-back set. With Jayson Tatum (rest) getting the night off, Brown is likely to see considerable usage against Atlanta.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Brown (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown will end up missing a second consecutive game due to left Achilles tendinitis. Sunday is the first leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set, so he could be back for Monday's game against the Hawks, which would allow Jayson Tatum to sit for the back end while the latter manages his own Achilles injury. Baylor Scheierman will likely stay in the starting lineup against Charlotte in Brown's absence, and Hugo Gonzalez and Jordan Walsh should both see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Tabbed questionable
Rotowire
Brown (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.
Brown missed Friday's contest due to tendinitis in his left Achilles, and the issue could prevent him from missing Sunday's contest as well. The star forward has been tabbed day-to-day, so it's not an injury that carries significant concern, though the timing of the injury certainly isn't ideal for fantasy managers.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Brown (Achilles), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta, is considered day-to-day, according to Jay King of The Athletic
Brown won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Hawks. However, it appears there's a chance his absence will extend beyond this contest, considering head coach Joe Mazzulla didn't provide much clarity on his condition when asked by reporters. While the star forward is on the shelf, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard should handle the majority of the load on the scoring end.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Puts up 29 points in loss
Rotowire
Brown finished Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves with 29 points (9-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes.
Brown didn't have his best shooting performance since he needed 26 shots to score 29 points, but fantasy managers will gladly look past the lack of efficiency if he continues to put up stats at this rate. This was Brown's fourth straight game with at least 29 points, and although he's shooting only 44.9 percent from the floor, he remains highly productive while still operating as Boston's go-to scoring weapon, even with Jayson Tatum back in the mix. For reference, Brown attempted 26 shots in this loss and has at least 20 shot attempts in five of his last six games, while Tatum is averaging 16.6 field goals per game in that same span.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Brown (quadriceps) will play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jack Simone of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
As expected, Brown will shake off his probable tag due to a left quadriceps contusion. The star forward has reached the 30-point threshold in four of the last five games, averaging 30.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 46.5 percent from the field in 36.8 minutes per tilt during that stretch.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Probable for Sunday
Rotowire
Brown is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left quad contusion, per Jack Simone of BostonSportsJournal.com.
Brown likely picked up the bruise during Friday's 30-point performance against the Grizzlies, but the probable tag suggests it won't force him to the sidelines. The star wing has been on an absolute tear lately, averaging 34.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists over his last three outings while shooting 36-of-38 from the charity stripe. Assuming he's cleared following Sunday's shootaround, Brown will look to extend his streak of 30-point games to four against a tough Minnesota defense.
