Boston Celtics rookie forward Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable for Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night with a hip pointer, the team announced on Wednesday.
Brown is the third Celtics player to suffer a hip injury this postseason, starting with leading scorer Isaiah Thomas, who was ruled out of the entire postseason after Game 2 and Avery Bradley, who's had his share of hip issues, despite averaging 36.1 minutes per game through the playoffs.
While he is only averaging 4.9 points and 2.3 rebounds, Brown has taken on the role of guarding LeBron James during his 19.3 minutes per game on the floor.
If he's unable to go, it'll be yet another blow for a team that has its season on life support.
Boston announced that Jae Crowder, who suffered an awkward fall during Game 4, is probable with a left groin strain. Forward Amir Johnson is also probable for Game 5 with a right shoulder sprain.
