Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown spoke with reporters during a media appearance for his athletic brand, 741 Performance. During the event, Brown shared that, for the first time in his professional career, he intends to remain in Boston throughout the majority of the offseason.
He also acknowledged that undergoing surgery remains a possible option to address the partially torn meniscus in his right knee.
“I got a lot of doctors I gotta get evaluated with – see the potential for surgery versus no surgery, wait to speak to the [Celtics] organization,” Brown explained. “For now, it’s just rest and recovery. I’m taking a step back from a long season. Mentally, it was a lot of stuff going on.”
Brown emphasized that his current focus is on healing and regaining mental clarity after what he described as a demanding season both physically and emotionally. The possibility of surgical intervention hinges on upcoming medical evaluations and conversations with team officials.
On a more reassuring note, Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens offered a positive update when addressing the media the week prior. According to Stevens, the outlook for Brown’s knee is encouraging.
“The knee is in a good place, structurally,” Stevens noted. “So, I think he felt comfortable getting out there and going after it, and, hopefully, he’ll feel better after being off of it for a couple of weeks here.”
With a mix of caution and optimism, both Brown and Stevens are approaching the offseason as an opportunity for healing and reflection – a chance to reset after a grueling campaign and prepare for what lies ahead.
