The Boston Celtics have avoided a major scare ahead of Game 3 against the New York Knicks, with Jaylen Brown officially cleared to play despite lingering knee soreness. The Celtics’ injury report confirms both Brown and Jayson Tatum are available with no restrictions, a critical boost for a team facing an 0-2 deficit in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Jaylen Brown’s injury report for Game 3 against the New York Knicks (May 10, 2025)
Jaylen Brown’s knee issue had sparked concern after Boston’s back-to-back collapses in Games 1 and 2, where the Celtics squandered 20-point leads. However, the All-Star wing isn’t listed on the injury report, signaling he’s ready to battle at Madison Square Garden. The same can’t be said for sharpshooter Sam Hauser, who remains doubtful with a sprained ankle suffered in Game 1.

With Hauser likely out and Kristaps Porziņģis still limited by illness, the pressure falls squarely on Brown and Tatum to deliver. The Knicks have exploited Boston’s late-game execution, with Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges making clutch plays while the Celtics’ offense sputters.
Tonight’s game isn’t just about avoiding an 0-3 hole—it’s a defining moment for Jaylen Brown and Tatum’s legacy. The Celtics’ stars have the green light to play. Now, they must prove they can rise when it matters most.
