Boston Celtics player Brown doubtful for Game 2 against 76ers

Xinhua,May 04, 2018 Adjust font size:

WASHINGTON, May 2 (Xinhua) -- The Boston Celtics confirmed on Wednesday that their swingman Jaylen Brown is officially listed as 'doubtful' for Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers in the East semifinals.

The second-year player has dealt with a strained right hamstring he suffered during Game 7 of the first-round series vs the Milwaukee Bucks, missing the first game of the club's East semifinals.

Prior to Game 1, which the Celtics won 117-101, coach Brad Stevens said Brown looked good and could play in the series. Brown also expected to return sooner rather than later, saying "I'll be back" and "I'm playing" in Game 2.

"I'm basically trying to come back in two days from a two-week type injury," Brown said.

He's averaging 17.9 points per game in the playoffs, the third-highest average on the Celtics. Enditem
