GettyThe Boston Celtics are thriving in 2025-2026, despite the Jayson Tatum injury. As the regular season winds down, Jaylen Brown is making franchise history amid his best year yet.
The Celtics defeated the shorthanded Warriors with ease. They finished the game with a score of 120-99.
Boston improves to 46-23 on the year, winning their last three. The Celtics are 3.5 games behind the first-seeded Detroit Pistons.
With Tatum missing most of the 2025-2026 NBA season due to an Achilles injury, many around the league believed the Celtics would be fighting for a spot in the postseason.
Many factors have helped the Celtics fall into place, but none more than Jaylen Brown putting together an MVP-caliber year. The fact that he’s gaining the numbers to land in the all-time Celtics category is well-deserved.
In 61 games this season, Brown has averaged 28.4 points per game while shooting 47% from the field and 34% from beyond the arc. Along with his scoring, Brown has produced 7.1 rebounds per game and 5.1 assists per game. He was named an All-Star for the fourth time in a row and will likely garner All-NBA recognition.
With a few weeks still left to go in the season, Brown is likely to surpass his career-high scoring total in a single season. He set the mark with 1,784 points in 2022-2023. This season, he’s at 1,734.
After Wednesday’s win, Brown and the Celtics will pay a visit to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, March 20.
