He finished with eight points, two rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 15 minutes.
This was an unfortunate incident, especially for fans who were excited to see stars from both teams compete. Without Brown, the Celtics were further handicapped, as they were already playing without Peyton Pritchard and Nikola Vucevic due to a neck injury and finger injury, respectively.
The Celtics ran out of steam in the fourth quarter and lost 125–116. Spurs recorded their ninth consecutive win at home.
Derrick White had 34 points, five rebounds and seven assists to lead Boston, while Jayson Tatum added 24 points, five rebounds and two steals.
Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio with a game-high 39 points and 11 rebounds on top of three assists and two blocks.
Before the game, Brown announced on his livestream that he was the NBA's best two-way player, although he joked that Wambanyama did not count because "he's a foreigner."
