Celtics’ Jaylen Brown to miss at least a week with hamstring injury
Brown, who is averaging 20.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season, suffered the injury in the closing minutes of regulation during Tuesday’s 129-120 overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
He didn’t speak to reporters after the game and walked gingerly out of the locker room.
Forward Gordon Hayward (bruised right knee) and Kemba Walker (left knee rehab) also were out of the starting lineup against the Cavaliers, and Cleveland center Tristan Thompson missed his third straight game with a bruised left knee.
Stevens said Hayward is day-to-day, while there’s no timetable for Walker to play in back-to-back games after he scored 21 points against the Nets in his return from a five-game absence.
Forward Jayson Tatum, who didn’t play Tuesday because of an illness, returned against the Cavaliers, scoring 32 points.
