Jaylen Brown returned to the court in the Boston Celtics’ 108 – 90 home win over the Houston Rockets Monday night after missing eight games due to a strained right hamstring, but you wouldn’t have guessed it was still bothering him a little based on how he was playing that night.
The Georgia native scored 19 points in 23 minutes of play — still on a minutes limit as a precaution — including an electric sequence in the third quarter that saw him hang 10 points on the Rockets in just over a minute of play. “I felt I felt good to be back out there, being with my teammates competing,” said Brown after the game. “I didn’t feel my best out there.
“I felt good all the way going up into the game, and I had a little bit of tightness, but we’ll see how I feel tomorrow,” he added.
