Is Jaylen Brown playing tonight? Latest injury report for Pacers vs Celtics

Tonight the Indiana Pacers will face off against the Boston Celtics. These are two familiar conference opponents that play each other multiple times each season. Both teams have struggled to stay healthy this season with both the Celtics (Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart) and Pacers (Myles Turner, Tyrese Haliburton) having significant recent injuries.

The question is, will Jaylen Brown be back and playing against the Indiana Pacers with the Boston Celtic on February 23rd?

Currently, the only player listed on the injury report for the Boston Celtics is Danilo Gallinari (ACL recovery). Otherwise, Pacers fans can expect to see the Pacers play the Celtics at full strength. Brown was wearing a facemask during the All-Star game, so it’s still possible that Brown is not back at 100%.

However, Brown was not the only player in question for the game tonight. Other injuries had been lingering for both teams but given the all-star break it seems that both have had a chance to really get healthy the last few days.

For the Celtics:

Danilo Gallinari (ACL recovery)

For the Pacers:

Kendall Brown (day-to-day)

So it is possible that both teams are nearly completely healthy and ready to suit up after the much needed all-star break.

The Pacers next five opponents

The Pacers have been on a cold streak for awhile now, and are likely to try and continue the losing streak in order to build up their odds for a good lottery pick. We expect that they will likely fall to the Celtics and out of the next four games, our guess would be that they would for 1-3.
