Jaylen Brown makes a comeback for Celtics, rejoining lineup after 4-game absence due to hip injury

Jaylen Brown will be back in action on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks (3:30 ET, NBA League Pass) after sitting out four games due to a strained left hip flexor.

Brown had been listed as questionable on Boston’s injury report, but Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said at his pregame availability that the three-time All-Star was available to play.

“No minutes restriction,” Mazzulla said. “He can run, jump, shoot, pass, cut. He’s ready to go.”

Brown is averaging 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists in six games this season after being named the NBA Finals MVP last season.

The Bucks won’t have Gary Trent Jr. available for a second straight game because of lower back spasms.
