ANALYSIS: This is brutal news for the Celtics as any hopes they had of making a deep playoff run are likely gone now. Brown had missed the team's previous three games due to a sprained right ankle, so this injury news on his wrist is somewhat surprising considering there were no prior reports of a wrist injury leading up to the news today. 

Brown had a career year with the Celtics and will end the 2020-21 season with averages of 24.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.
