Jaylen Brown shares update after suffering facial fracture originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Jaylen Brown will miss time after suffering a facial fracture during Wednesday’s win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Boston Celtics star sustained the injury in a scary collision with teammate Jayson Tatum.

Forsberg: Celtics’ path to the Finals is looking a lot less daunting
If Brown does return immediately after the All-Star break, it would be against the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 23.
Brown is in the middle of a career year for the Celtics. The 26-year-old is averaging career-highs in points (26.5) and rebounds (7.0) per game while shooting 49 percent from the floor.
The Celtics will be shorthanded again when they host the Hornets on Friday. Tip-off at TD Garden is set for 7:30 pm ET.
