Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla has confirmed a report that Jaylen Brown received injections during the week to help his troublesome right knee that’s limited his playing time the past month.

Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has been dealing with what the team's injury report lists as a "right knee posterior impingement" over the last several weeks. The two-way star has missed a slew of games down the stretch for Boston and recently received a painkilling shot ahead of what they hope to be an NBA title-defending playoff run.

The Celtics' Jaylen Brown will again sit out vs. the Hornets on Sunday after receiving pain management injections in his right knee during the week.
