Star forward Jaylen Brown battled through a partially torn right meniscus, missing eight games in March and the final three regular season games, while reportedly relying on pain injection to get through 11 playoff games. His teammate, Jayson Tatum, suffered a devastating ruptured Achilles tendon in Game 4 against the Knicks, an injury that required surgery and will most likely sideline him for the upcoming 2025-26 season. These setbacks have compounded Boston&rsquo;s challenges, which is surprising to many fans after a 60-win season. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">REPORT: Jaylen Brown was playing through a partially torn meniscus during the playoffs, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ramonashelburne?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@ramonashelburne<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x1fbmQO4ZM\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/x1fbmQO4ZM<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LegionHoops\/status\/1923845281747243020?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Adding more fuel to the fire, the Celtics are navigating a significant ownership transition, with no co-owner Bill Chisholm joining the franchise.
