Jaylen Brown will miss Saturday’s Celtics-Hornets game due to a left hip flexor strain.

According to The Boston Sphere‘s Gary Washburn, Brown twisted his hip in the third quarter on Friday before staying in the game.

Brown spoke to the media after the game following the Celtics’ 124-109 victory. Perhaps the Celtics will take a cautious approach on the second night of a back-to-back.

Brown has scored more than 20 points every game this season and has a 25.8 average, but he is shooting just 39.6 percent from the floor and 30.8 percent from three-point range.

Last year was the first time he played more than 70 games since 2018-19.

Sam Hauser (low back injury treatment) is likely. Kristaps Porzingis is still out (rehabilitation from left tibialis tendon surgery).
