Boston Celtics prima Jaylen Brown is listed arsenic questionable for Wednesday night’s play opener against nan Philadelphia 76ers.

Brown is dealing pinch a near hamstring strain. 

The Celtics are surely hoping that their All-Star helping tin suit up successful this matchup, arsenic they’re already down Jayson Tatum (Achilles) to commencement nan play and mislaid a ton of accumulation from past season’s roster.

Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday are each pinch caller teams, and Boston didn’t adhd immoderate awesome pieces to nan roster extracurricular of defender Anfernee Simons. The C’s could beryllium facing an uphill conflict connected Wednesday if Brown doesn’t play.
