The Celtics will start their playoffs with an entirely healthy list on Sunday while they will face the Orlando Magic for match 1 of their first round series at TD Garden. Boston officially published a report on clean injuries on Saturday for the match, removing Jaylen Brown entirely from the report after missing the last three games of the regular season with bone bone on the right knee.
Brown participated with the Celtics in practice all week after receiving a knee pain injection in the last week of the regular season. He refused to tackle the injury with journalists on Saturday in the center of Auerbach in particular, but spoke of his appreciation for the team, which let him play through the injury to points in March and April.
“I appreciate Joe and training staff,” said Brown. “We had a good match plan that we were a bit like filling it. I know my body quite well. But the decisions that were made, I felt what was best. I think I will use some of these things in my rear pocket when we move on. It was a good test for me.”
The Boston’s injury report for Sunday has echoed what was an optimistic attitude about its state from those who look at it in action all week.
“He looks good,” said Joe Mazzulla. “He was able to do everything, no limits. He was great, physically, mentally, to really prepare, ready to leave. So like the week he had. “
Derrick White is impatient to have Brown back in the fold against magic after the stars missed several games with the scattered injury throughout the last month of the regular season.
“One of the best players in the match, so it’s always great to have it,” said White on Saturday. “He looks good, I think he feels good. So we are all excited, and we know what starts tomorrow, so it’s going to be exciting.”
Apart from Brown, the Celtics have made entries in the playoffs on a promising section of health for their other regulars. Boston locking seeded n ° 2 since March has allowed the team to give regulars to rest in the section to go with a week off between the regular season final and the opening of Sunday qualifying series.
Brown says he will not be on a minute limit for match 1 and that he will get two days of recovery time before match 2 in Boston before the series passes to a calendar every two days.
The Celtics will compete against a magic team on Sunday which is also at full resistance expectations for two players who have been sidelined for the season at Jalen Suggs and Moritz Wagner.
The Celtics and Magic will go at 3:30 am Sunday afternoon in an ABC television match nationwide.
