MILWAUKEE — Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics is set to return to the court on Sunday to face the Milwaukee Bucks, following a four-game absence due to a strained left hip flexor. Initially marked as questionable on the injury report, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed during his pregame comments that Brown is cleared to participate in the game.

Mazzulla emphasized that there would be no restrictions on Brown’s playing time, stating, “He can run, jump, shoot, pass, cut. He’s ready to go.” Brown has been performing impressively this season, averaging 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists across six games, building on his recognition as the NBA Finals MVP from the previous season.

Conversely, the Bucks will be without Gary Trent Jr. for the second consecutive game due to lower back spasms, affecting their lineup. As the matchup approaches, the teams are gearing up for what promises to be a competitive clash with key players potentially influencing the outcome.
