Brown will sit out a game for the fifth time since the beginning of February as he's been dealing with right knee posterior impingement. His absence would open the door for the likes of Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard to see more minutes. Brown's next chance to play will come against the Nets on Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has no interest in resting before the coming NBA playoffs despite lingering injury concerns.

With Jayson Tatum (knee) also questionable and Derrick White (knee) doubtful, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could receive increased playing time.
