The Celtics will be without Jaylen Brown and Derrick White when they face the Cavaliers on Sunday night. Brown is dealing with a non-COVID illness, and White has a right foot sprain.

On Sunday evening, the Boston Celtics will be without one of their best two players when they face off against the Cavs in Ohio. Right before tip off, the Celt

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Brown is out with a non-COVID illness while White is dealing with a foot sprain suffered in the third quarter of Friday's win over Chicago. Brown averages 24.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists while White is the team's best on-the-ball defender.

The Celtics will be down a pair of starters when they take on the Cavaliers at 6 p.m. Sunday in Cleveland. The C’s originally had four players listed on the injury report, but now, Jaylen Brown was a late addition as he’s been downgraded to out due to a non-COVID illness.

Jaylen Brown found a way to energize his teammates as they looked for a win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday, Nov. 29. The Boston Celtics were struggling to create any separation between themselves and their Eastern Conference foes.

Unfortunately, the highlight of the night came at the expense of the Bulls. Celtics star Jaylen Brown dropped the hammer on Chicago's Jalen Smith. The absurd poster dunk sent waves across the league, with just about every major social media page posting the highlight.

Brown viciously dunked on Smith to take a 108-105 lead in the fourth quarter on Friday. The post Watch: Celtics’ Jaylen Brown posterizes Bulls’ Jalen Smith appeared first on Boston.com.

Jaylen Brown has always been one of the more quiet players for the Boston Celtics, but he's showing he's not afraid to fire back.

Speaking to the media after the team's recent win over the Los Angeles Clippers, the Georgia native gushed about how he was able to set up an alley-oop to his favorite partner in crime. "As soon as I broke the line of the defense, I knew I was going to have Kristaps," said Brown. "Cookies and Cream is back, baby! Let’s get it!"

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics only play four times in the regular season. So far, neither team has been close to fully healthy in their matchups. Unlike last time, it’s the Celtics that will be without multiple key pieces.
