All-Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown looked as good as anyone on the team in preseason despite having surgery on his wrist in the offseason, and seemed ready to attack the looming 2021-22 NBA season with renewed vigor. And then he came down with COVID-19.
The rising veteran had to go into a 10-day quarantine per NBA rules governing their health and safety protocols. And it wasn’t entirely a period of asymptomatic rest for Brown, who spoke to the press about his experience with the viral malady ahead of the season opener on Wednesday morning. And even with his status for playing in said opener not yet certain, the Georgia native was upbeat.
“I’m pretty excited for our team to start the journey,” relayed Brown.
