Celtics Udoka says Jaylen Brown ‘doing well’ with hamstring; Brown says he should be ‘ready to roll’ vs. Milwaukee Bucks

So far, the Georgia native’s hamstring prognosis has been good.

One of the more important subplots heading into the East semifinals series between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks has been the status of star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown’s hamstring, which has been showing signs of tightness since Boston’s Game 4 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Hamstring tightness isn’t in itself necessarily cause for great alarm, but it signals the likelihood of reinjury to that vital muscle group is high, so the Celtics have been proceeding with appropriate caution. Speaking to the media after practice on Saturday, Boston head coach Ime Udoka gave a brief update on Brown’s hamstring going into Game 1 of the second-round series.

“Jaylen is doing well the last few days,” related Udoka. “He looked good the last few days, felt good.”
