Does Jaylen Brown playing on a partially torn meniscus change how you see the Boston Celtics loss to the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series the Celtics just lost in six games?

Four days after Jayson Tatum underwent surgery on a torn right Achilles tendon, ESPN reported on Saturday that fellow Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has a partially torn right meniscus and might also require surgery.

The biggest open secret in New England sports fandom right now is that the Boston Celtics are going to be cutting some salary from their potentially historically expensive roster. And one of the most likely candidates to be on the move is veteran guard Jrue Holiday.

For the last two seasons, they've been above the NBA's second tax apron, and being above for a third will lead to more frozen draft assets. The Celtics may trade Jrue Holiday or Derrick White to get under it this offseason, as both are on expensive, long-term contracts.

Veteran guard Jrue Holiday told reporters Saturday that he wants to run it back with the Boston Celtics next season.
