What is the timeline for Brown?

The Celtics announced on their X account that Brown "underwent a successful right knee arthroscopic debridement procedure."

This is not expected to keep him out for the start of next season, as he will be ready for training camp "without limitation."

It was evident that he had a knee issue, but we weren't 100% sure whether or not they would elect for surgery.

His explosiveness wasn't the same on the court after he felt the effects of the injury, so it is good to get a debridement done early in the offseason.

Brown has been in many trade rumors this offseason, but this likely won't be something that impacts his value too much, with his timeline for return not being too concerning.

In the 2024-25 NBA season, Brown averaged 22.2 PPG, 5.8 RPG and 4.5 APG (career high).
