Brown is currently listed as questionable on the NBA injury report with the aforementioned low back spasms. The Celtics are 10-8 overall this season. Jayson Tatum's injury absence has been felt, but Brown is doing everything he can to help Boston win games. He's played at a high level and the Celtics are remaining competitive as a result.

The Celtics started to play sloppy as the Timberwolves cut their deficit to 1 point on an Anthony Edwards layup that forced Boston to call a timeout at the 4:52 mark of the quarter. Edwards gave the T-Wolves the lead out of the timeout as he started to heat up.

Anthony Edwards scored 39 points including the game-sealing 3-pointer to snap the Wolves’ three-game losing streak.

Jaylen Brown accomplished a performance Larry Bird last pulled off in the Celtics' matchup against the Timberwolves on Saturday night.

The Celtics and Timberwolves played in another close game, just as they've done for the past two years, though it was Minnesota coming out on top.
