Celtics' Jaylen Brown Ruled Out for Thursday's Game vs. Wizards

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) has been officially ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. This decision was anticipated, as Brown had previously been listed as doubtful. His availability for Friday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers remains uncertain. With Brown sidelined, players such as Jordan Walsh, Sam Hauser, and Josh Minott are expected to see increased minutes, while Derrick White and Payton Pritchard could take on larger offensive roles.
