Jaylen Brown put together a complete performance against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night that further cemented his place among the league’s elite.
The [Boston Celtics](https://nesn.com/boston-celtics) forward tallied 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 13 assists while shooting 56 percent from the field. The stat line marked Brown’s third triple-double of the season, matching the total he recorded across his first nine NBA campaigns combined.

With Jayson Tatum sidelined by an Achilles injury, the 2024 Finals MVP has shouldered a heavier load on both ends, delivering efficient scoring, rebounding, and playmaking. His ability to impact winning in multiple facets has fueled Boston’s success despite roster turnover and injuries.
The performance aligns with broader praise from around the league for the Celtics’ depth and habits. Brown’s two-way consistency has helped the team maintain its standing near the top of the East.
Brown has authored one of the most dominant individual seasons in Celtics history during the 2025-26 campaign. The 29-year-old wing is posting career-high averages of 29.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists while logging 34.2 minutes per night. He's shooting 48.3 percent from the field and has led the Eastern Conference in scoring entering the All-Star break. Brown has paced the Celtics in assists 17 times and rebounds 18 times, anchoring a squad that sits at 36-19.
Selected third overall by the Celtics in the 2016 NBA Draft, Brown has developed into a franchise pillar over his first decade in the league. He earned All-Rookie Second Team honors as a rookie, made the All-NBA Second Team in 2023, captured Eastern Conference Finals MVP and Finals MVP in 2024 during Boston’s championship run, and now ranks among the NBA’s most complete wings.
This season marks a clear evolution in his playmaking and rebounding alongside his scoring punch, positioning him as the clear engine for a contending Celtics group. With 27 games remaining, Brown continues to set the tone for Boston’s pursuit of another deep playoff journey.
