If you heard Jaylen Brown recently got an injection in his knee to help him manage pain, we now have confirmation that this is indeed the case.

Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown missed his third straight game on Sunday as he continues to deal with a bone bruise in his right knee that has bothered him for the last two months. Joe Mazzulla confirmed Sunday that Brown had received an injection in his knee during the past week to help relieve some pain and encourage recovery.

Joe Mazzulla has no doubt Jaylen Brown will be available when the Celtics tip off their first-round playoff series next weekend.
