Celtics president Brad Stevens, coach Ime Udoka share status of Jaylen Brown’s hamstring tightness ahead of Bucks series

The Georgia native felt tightness in game 4 vs. the Nets that has lingered.

A subtle but important wrinkle lingering from the Boston Celtics’ Game 4 win over the Brooklyn Nets is the status of star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown’s hamstring, which the Georgia native let slip had been tight in that game in a postgame sideline interview.

At present, it seems that Boston has the clear advantage in the team’s Eastern Conference Semifinals series with the Milwaukee Bucks with Milwaukee’s second-leading scorer — forward Khris Middleton — out for the entirety of the series. But that could shift to a dead heat if Brown ends up needing to sit out as well. In his usual weekly appearance on WEEI’s “Toucher and Rich” show, Boston team president Brad Stevens shared some information on the status of the Cal-Berkeley product’s hamstring.

“There’s some concern,” said Stevens. “He was definitely tight, even the next day.”
