Earlier this week, Brown was watering flowers at his home when he accidentally knocked down a glass vase. While picking up the shards, the 26-year-old suffered a cut on his shooting hand and ended up needing to get five stitches.

The accident will now cost Brown the remainder of the regular season. However, he is expected to be available to start the playoffs and won’t have any lingering issues by then, according to Boston’s head coach Joe Mazzulla.

The Celtics would probably sit Brown for the last game of the regular season either way. They are locked as the number two seed in the Eastern Conference, and the result of their matchup against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday will have no significance for the team in terms of standings.

Jaylen Brown played 67 games in 2022-23 and delivered his best statistical season. His minutes per game (35.9), points (26.6), field goal percentage (49.1), and rebounds (6.9) are all career-high. Brown also earned an All-Star nod in 2023, his second since he entered the NBA as the third overall pick in 2016.

Celtics rarely offer rookie extensions ahead of time, with the most recent example being Rajon Rondo in 2009. But considering Brown’s talent and upside, Boston decided to change their policy and give the 22-year-old an offer. But it turned out to be not good.

Haynes reports that Celtics offered Jaylen Brown $80 million over four years, but the player rejected the extension, thinking he can get a substantially better offer next year. This might prove to be a good decision, especially since the 2020 free-agent class is not that strong. It’s important to note that Celtics can match any contract offer Brown receives from other NBA teams.

In order to fetch a max-contract offer next summer, Brown will have to take another step in his development. Since entering the league in 2016 as a third overall pick, he showed flashes of great talent, but never managed to break through as a potential star in the league. Over the course of these past three seasons, he played a total of 222 games (115 as a starter) and averaged 11.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.
