According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Boston Celtics standout Jaylen Brown played with a partially torn meniscus in his right knee for the final month of the regular season and the team’s playoff run. Brown will be assessed this week to see whether surgery is required to heal the injury in his knee.

The Celtics player has been getting pain injections for his knee, which started ailing him in March. He missed the final three regular-season games, but played despite agony in the playoffs as the Celtics attempted to defend their crown. Brown averaged 22.3 points and 7.2 rebounds throughout Boston’s playoff journey, which concluded Friday night in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks. He was one of numerous Celtics sidelined by injuries throughout the postseason. Jayson Tatum ruptured his Achilles in Game 4 of the series against the Knicks, and is projected to miss at least nine months. Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday dealt with a hamstring problem in round one, and center Kristaps Porzingis suffered what he termed “an energy crash” from a previously existing illness during Game 1 of the series against New York.
