The Utah Jazz will go up against the Defending NBA champions, Boston Celtics on Friday, March 21 at the Delta Center. The talking point from the Boston Celtics point of view would be whether Jaylen Brown start's against Jazz or not.
Will Jaylen Brown feature against Utah Jazz?
The 28-year-old shooting guard is ruled out of the match against Jazz due to right knee posterior impingement. It is a lingering issue that has kept him out of the action twice in the past week. Jaylen Brown suffered his latest injury during Celtics clash against Oklahoma City Thunder on March 12. Brown even missed the next game against Miami Heat on March 14.
He returned to the court for the second leg of the back-to-back against Brooklyn Nets on March 15 but had a short stay on the court as he exited after 24 minutes. The reason behind Brown only featuring for 24 minutes was because of back spasms. He was then sidelined for clash against Nets on March 18. While he recovered from his back spasms, he was ruled out again due to a persisting knee issue.
Despite Brown not featuring in the three games, Celtics won all those matches by an average of 7.3 points. Jayson Tatum led Boston Celtics are the favorites against Utah Jazz and they should secure an easy win at the Delta Center.
