The Boston Celtics didn't embark upon their championship quest at full health, as the team entered first-round play against the Orlando Magic with a banged-up Jaylen Brown.

Boston Celtics All-Star wing Jaylen Brown said Saturday that he is almost fully healthy ahead of the team's second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks. While speaking to the media Saturday (h/t RealGM ), Brown provided a positive update on the bone bruise in his right knee, saying he is trending toward 100 percent.

The Boston Celtics and New York Knicks are set to face each other in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. The Celtics are coming into this series as the favorites just because they're the defending champions.
