Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics are one of the hottest teams in the NBA, winners of eight consecutive games and 23-4 in their last 27.
On Saturday, Brown and the Celtics continued their undefeated road trip with a 121-111 win over Chris Paul and the San Antonio Spurs.
Brown was efficient from the floor, recording 14 points on 6-of-9 field goals and four assists. Jayson Tatum, in his return from a scary ankle injury, added a game-high 29 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.
Earlier in March, Brown was forced to miss three straight games due to right knee posterior impingement. It remained a concern against the Kings on March 24 but hasn't come up again until Sunday.
The Celtics will finish off their six-game road trip in Memphis, taking on Ja Morant and the Grizzlies on Monday night. However, Boston could be without its NBA Finals MVP, as Brown has been ruled questionable with the same knee issue.
"Injury Report for tomorrow at Memphis: Jaylen Brown (right knee posterior impingement) - QUESTIONABLE," the Celtics wrote on X.
In the win against the Spurs, the Celtics were without backup big man Al Horford (left big toe sprain) and top Sixth Man of the Year candidate Payton Pritchard (left hip flexor tightness). Yet both players were not listed on the injury report for the Memphis game, a good sign for the Celtics.
Although the Celtics have gained a ton of ground on the Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 1 seed in the East (4.5 games back), coach Joe Mazzulla could remain cautious with his stars going forward as the playoffs near.
Following the road trip, the Celtics will be back in Boston to take on the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
