Okay, so here’s the thing. Jaylen Brown — you know, the guy from the Celtics — just had this knee thing done. Yup, surgery. But not the scary kind with all the knives and long recovery stuff. It’s called, uh, arthroscopic debridement. Kind of a fancy way to say they cleaned up his knee. Anyway.
The team’s like, “Don’t worry, he’ll be bouncing around at training camp like nothing happened.” Not sure if they actually said it like that, but you get the vibe.
Oh, and here’s a nugget from the Boston Globe. Apparently, this knee cleanup was all about making Brown more comfortable. You know how a torn meniscus feels like? Yeah, me neither. But they say it would’ve been a bother for anyone playing at his level. So, a source said they just trimmed or smoothed the rough bits in there. Sounds like what you’d do with a garden hedge, oddly.
Now, if you’re wondering when this all started — before the All-Star break. Around February, if memory serves. Yup, he played through some serious knee drama during the playoffs. First, they called it a bone bruise. Then something about posterior impingement. I should’ve paid more attention in biology class.
And get this, he even had pain injections. Why? Well, coach Joe Mazzulla said something about it being part of getting him back to his best. Imagine that. Anyway — wait, no — I was talking about Jaylen, wasn’t I?
Right, so now Brown’s knee is all sorted — or so they say. Hope it truly is. Celtics fans, keep your fingers crossed!
