Winning an NBA title always requires a bit of luck when it comes to health, and the Boston Celtics reportedly had considerably less of it than many were aware.

Per senior ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne, star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown played from late in the 2024-25 NBA regular season through the postseason with a partially torn meniscus.With fellow star on the wing Jayson Tatum's Achilles tear the injury that slammed the door shut on Boston's title defense, it is clear in hindsight that the Celtics did not have the same injury luck they had in the run-up to their 2024 championship.

Add in the mysterious viral illness sapping big man Kristaps Porzingis of his ability to play at a high level and the loss of Sam Hauser to an ankle sprain midway through the Celtics' 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series with the New York Knicks, and it actually fairly impressive Boston was in it as much as they were.Per Shelburne, Brown will be evaluated later this week to determine if surgery is necessary for the Georgia native to get back to his usual self.This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Report: Jaylen Brown played for Celtics with partial meniscus tear.
