Celtics' Jaylen Brown out against Utah Jazz

The Boston Celtics will be missing All-Star Jaylen Brown for their upcoming game against the Utah Jazz. Brown is dealing with a right knee injury and will sit out for the second straight game. He also missed a previous game against the Brooklyn Nets due to the same issue, after leaving another game early with back spasms. Despite Brown's absence, the rest of the Celtics team is healthy as they prepare for a six-game road trip. The game against the Jazz is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. on Friday. Kristaps Porzingis, who recently missed several games due to illness, is back and ready to play. The Celtics have a busy schedule ahead, including back-to-back games against Portland and Sacramento. To manage player fatigue, the team may rotate their roster to keep everyone fresh. So far this season, the Celtics have a strong record of 50 wins and 19 losses and are currently on a three-game winning streak. They only face a few teams with winning records in their final games, allowing them to balance resting players while continuing to secure victories.
