jaylen brown injury status vs suns
Jaylen Brown being listed as questionable introduces some uncertainty for a Celtics team that has relied heavily on his typical two-way production all season long. The All-Star wing is averaging 29.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, all career highs.
Two-way guard Max Shulga is unavailable due to a G League assignment, while rookie big Amari Williams is considered questionable on assignment. Despite this, the Celtics have won eight of their last nine games and are 37–19.
Phoenix scored just 77 points in their most recent loss to Portland, their lowest total since 2017. Grayson Allen is questionable managing knee and ankle injuries, while leading scorers Devin Booker (hip strain) and Dillon Brooks (left hand fracture) are out, removing more than 40 combined points per game from the lineup.
Jordan Goodwin has been ruled out with a calf strain, Haywood Highsmith is out with a knee injury, and Cole Anthony is unavailable while away from the team. Boston will be the clear favorite against a devastated Suns lineup, regardless of whether Brown suits up or not, which is a game-time decision.
