Boston most recently defeated the Atlanta Hawks 109-102 at home, a win in which Brown did not play. The Celtics are weighing Brown’s availability for the road matchup in North Carolina.
Brown, in his 10th NBA season after starring at California, has enjoyed a standout campaign this year, averaging 28.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 47.7% from the field and 34.2% from three in 65 games. He helped lead Boston to the 2024 NBA Championship, earning Finals MVP honors.
This season’s Celtics-Hornets series has featured LaMelo Ball for Charlotte and Brown for Boston, with both teams jockeying for position in the Eastern Conference landscape. The outcome of Brown’s status could influence Boston’s game plan against Charlotte on Sunday.
Brown’s ongoing health status remains the focal point for Boston ahead of the trip, as staff and fans await an update on his availability for the Hornets game. If Brown cannot play, the Celtics will rely on their depth and balance to contend on the road.
