NBA starting lineups tonight: Is Jaylen Brown playing tonight vs Utah Jazz? Boston Celtics release hamstring injury report

Jaylen Brown has been ruled out of the Boston Celtics’ clash against 2020-21 no. 1 seeds Utah Jazz tonight.

The Boston Celtics have huffed and puffed their way to a 12-10 record thus far. One of their most hard-earned wins of the season came 2 days ago, against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Sixers have been one of the league’s more talented teams of late. But Joel Embiid has little by way of point guard and facilitating support in the absence of Ben Simmons. Tyrese Maxey is a good offensive player, but his playmaking clearly isn’t there yet.

2018 first-round pick Robert Williams registered the game-winning block against the Cameroonian. The victory brought the Boston Celtics’ defense to 4th position by defensive rating for the season.

Jaylen Brown was one of the Celtics’ most taxed players in the dub this week. He played 33 minutes, getting switched onto every Sixers player from Seth Curry to Joel Embiid. Despite shooting 3-of-11 from the field, Brown excelled on the other end.

However, it seems the Boston Celtics will be missing his services for one night.
