Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown finished the season with a partially torn right meniscus, sources told ESPN. Brown had been playing in pain during the last month of the regular season and the playoffs, which concluded with Friday’s Game 6 loss to the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. He will be evaluated this week to determine if surgery is needed, sources said.

Jaylen Brown said he’s not talking about the injury now, he’ll sit back and assess the next steps.

And to cap off this disastrous #Celtics first half, Jaylen Brown misses an bunny layup and then Miles McBride ends the half with a 3-pointer. NYK 64, BOS 37. #Knicks – 9:21 PM

Knicks transition defense, team 3-point defense, and Mitchell Robinson closing out while Jaylen Brown thought he had enough time for a dribble spot up in the corner, was the kind of sequence that you get after you get busted for fast break 3s in the previous game. – 8:51 PM
