Celtics: Brown has undergone right knee arthroscopy and is expected to return to training camp in the new season

June 12th News The Celtics announced that its team's star Jaylen Brown underwent right knee arthroscopy on Wednesday local time, and the team is expected to return "without any restrictions" at the beginning of training camp. The Celtics said that the operation was a minimally invasive cleaning operation, aiming to remove impurities in the knees.

ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne reported in May that Brown had a tear of his meniscus on his right knee at the end of the season. Brown insisted on playing with injuries during the last month of the regular season and throughout the playoffs. Sources revealed that Brown has been receiving pain-relieving injections from his knee since March this year to alleviate the effects of his injuries.

Brown is his ninth year in the NBA, averaging 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. His importance in the team will be further highlighted next season because another core of the team, Jason Tatum, will be out of the game for a long time due to a torn Achilles tendon and is expected to miss most of the 2025-26 season. Tatum's injury also became the key reason why the Celtics missed the defending champion.

Brown's salary in the 2025-26 season was $53 million, the second year of a five-year, $304 million contract signed with the Celtics. The contract was signed as the biggest in NBA history.
