The Latest on Jaylen Brown's Status for Monday's Celtics-Thunder Game

After suffering a knee injury late in the third quarter of the Celtics' 131-112 win over the Nuggets Friday, a left knee contusion kept Jaylen Brown out of Saturday's matchup in Detroit.

Despite Brown's absence, Boston emerged from Little Caesars Arena with a 117-108 victory against a Pistons team playing without Cade Cunningham, extending the Celtics' league-high win streak to six games.

And with Boston back home for a Monday night matchup against the Thunder, Brown's poised to return to the lineup as reflected by his name no longer listed on the Celtics' injury report.

#NEBHInjuryReport for tomorrow vs. Oklahoma City:

Malcolm Brogdon (right hamstring tightness) - OUT
Danilo Gallinari (left knee ACL repair) - OUT
Robert Williams (left knee surgery) - OUT
— Boston Celtics (@celtics) November 13, 2022

While Boston looks forward to Brown being back, the Celtics will be without Malcolm Brogdon, dealing with right hamstring tightness, for a third-straight game.

Brogdon suffered the injury in the first half of Wednesday's 128-112 victory over the Pistons, getting ruled out before the third quarter got underway.

Boston knows it must air on the side of caution with Brogdon, who's already dealt with a few minor ailments this season despite a lesser workload than he's accustomed to, coming off the bench and averaging 23 minutes.

Monday's tilt between the Celtics and Thunder tips off at 7:30 pm EST at TD Garden. Inside The Celtics will have content related to the game coming out before, during, and after. And follow @BobbyKrivitsky on Twitter for updates and analysis from pregame to post.
