In their injury report ahead of tonight's matchup against the Indiana Pacers, the Celtics marked Jaylen Brown as unavailable due to lower-back spasms.
Brown was initially listed as doubtful to play, which suggested his probable inactivity in Indiana.
The Boston superstar is in the midst of a career season this 2025-26, averaging 29.5 points, 6.4 boards and 5.0 assists. With Jayson Tatum out indefinitely due to Achilles injury recovery, Brown has carried the Celtics to a Top 3 seeding in the East with a surprising 24-14 record progress so far.
With Brown not playing, Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman are set to gain increased minutes.
