Celtics' Brown out with ankle injury

-

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, who sprained his ankle in a collision with teammate Jayson Tatum on Sunday, will miss today's game at the Orlando Magic. Brown, who went through a full practice Tuesday, had to be helped off the court with 40.4 seconds remaining in Sunday's 129-119 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers after colliding with Tatum. Celtics coach Brad Stevens doesn't think Brown will miss too much time. “He's very much day-to-day after that,” Stevens said after Tuesday's practice. Tatum, who suffered a leg injury in Sunday's collision, also practised fully on Tuesday and is on track to face the Magic. Brown, who earned the first AllStar nod of his career in February, is averaging career-highs in points (24.7) and assists (3.4) per game while also grabbing 6.0 rebounds per contest.
