Celtics’ Jaylen Brown Cleared To Return, Available Monday

Celtics star guard/forward Jaylen Brown has been cleared to return for Monday’s game vs. the Rockets, the team announced.

Brown was ruled out for at least a week on Nov. 8 after suffering a hamstring strain. At the time, coach Ime Udoka estimated that Brown would be out “a week or two,” so that timeline proved to be accurate.

Brown, 25, is 6-foot-6 and averaging 25.6 points and 6.1 rebounds in eight games this season.

The Celtics (9-8) have won three of four.
