Stevens: Jaylen Brown (concussion) won't play Sunday vs. Pacers

Share

Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Jaylen Brown has no structural damage as a result of the nasty fall he took after a dunk Thursday night, but Brown does have a concussion and won't play Sunday night when the C's host the Indiana Pacers.

Stevens spoke to reporters at the Celtics practice Saturday.

Brown has been placed in the NBA concussion protocol. He left the victory in Minnesota with about a minute to play in the third quarter after dunking but losing control of his grip on the rim and landing on his back. He was on the floor for a few seconds, showing minimal movement.
 
Eventually, he rose to his feet and walked off towards the locker room, where he was evaluated by the medical staff. Brown traveled with the Celtics after the game Thursday night when they returned to Boston.
