Boston Celtics standout Jaylen Brown suffered a facial fracture Wednesday night, the team announced Thursday in its injury report.
Brown was injured when he was inadvertently struck in the face by the elbow of teammate Jayson Tatum during the game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown and Tatum were going for an offensive rebound in the second quarter when they collided. Brown grabbed his face and was slow to get up before immediately going to the locker room. The Celtics ruled him out for the game with what the team termed a “facial contusion.”
The Celtics are scheduled to host the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
Brown was recently named an Eastern Conference reserve for the NBA All-Star Game, the second All-Star nod of his career, but his chances of taking part in the weekend’s festivities later this month seem diminished. He entered Wednesday’s game averaging 27 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He exited the Celtics’ 106-99 win with four points in 18 minutes.
