Despite removing his mask in the second quarter of Game 4 against the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown resumed wearing it for the rest of the series due to ongoing concerns about his facial fracture. Celtics legend Cedric Maxwell revealed that Brown expressed unease about taking hits on his face and possibly needing surgery if it happens again. Brown's relationship with the team and its fanbase has been complicated by trade rumors in the past, and with former Celtics head coach Ime Udoka taking over the Houston Rockets, rumors of a potential trade have resurfaced. However, one general manager believes that the real question is not whether Brown and Jason Tatum can play together but whether they want to play together. In any case, Brown's thoughts are solely on the current NBA playoffs, where he and the Celtics will face off against the Miami Heat in the first round.
