As rreportedby ESPN's Tim Bontemps, Brown said that the Celtics had an inhaler ready to use but he was hoping that he wouldn't have to use it. Having said that, the Celtics have taken the necessary precautions such as easing him back onto the court and keeping an inhaler ready in hand to make him feel comfortable in case of emergencies. There were concerns surrounding his fitness but the Celtics management are hopeful that their All-Star will be ready prior to tip-off during their season opener. However, Jaylen Brown had a rough start to the 2021-22 season after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this month.

He is expected to take another leap this year with him being the number two option on the team after Jayson Tatum, and with Kemba Walker no longer on the team, Brown will have to take on the role of being an ace scorer with no nights off if the team is expected to fulfill their true potential.

This was a huge leap from his previous seasons, but Brown was unable to guide the Celtics past the first round in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Jaylen Brown had a brilliant 2020-21 season, earning his first All-Star appearance after averaging an impressive 24.7 points, six rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 58 games for the Boston Celtics.
