Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown missed his third straight game on Sunday as he continues to deal with a bone bruise in his right knee that has bothered him for the last two months. Joe Mazzulla confirmed Sunday that Brown had received an injection in his knee during the past week to help relieve some pain and encourage recovery.

Joe Mazzulla has the Boston Celtics staying ready so they don't have to get ready for the first round of the playoffs.
