In a press conference before the Boston Celtics’ game against the Golden State Warriors, Joe Mazzulla had an amusing exchange with a reporter regarding Jaylen Brown’s hip injury. Brown, who has been a major force for the Celtics this season, was set to miss his third consecutive game, leaving fans and media eager for an update on his condition. However, Mazzulla, known for his dry sense of humor, kept the interaction light-hearted and took the opportunity to joke around.

Reporter: “Joe, just confirming no Jaylen Brown tonight and if you have an update there, if you’ve talked to him about it?” 

Joe Mazzulla: “Yeah, he’s out.” 

Reporter: “Have you been able to talk to Jaylen about the injury?” 

Joe Mazzula: “Mm-hmm. I talked to him every day.” 

Reporter: “What were those conversations like?” 

Joe Mazzulla: “I mean, we both kind of mumble when we talk and then we just shake hands and move on.” 

Reporter: “Did he happen to mumble about his hip at all?” 

Joe Mazzulla: “I couldn’t understand him.”

The reporter began with a straightforward question, trying to confirm whether Brown would play that night. The tone of the conversation then took a humorous turn as the reporter asked about the nature of those conversations. His answer hinted at an almost comically casual approach, suggesting that his daily interactions with Brown were not filled with deep discussions but were instead simple, quick check-ins. 

By describing their communication as a series of mumbles and handshakes, Mazzulla downplayed any tension or worry surrounding Brown’s absence, adding a touch of humor to the otherwise serious topic.

Brown’s absence has indeed left the Celtics shorthanded, particularly in a game as competitive as this rematch against the Warriors. Known for his defensive tenacity, playmaking, and scoring ability, Brown has been instrumental to the Celtics’ success this season, averaging an impressive 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. 

However, he has struggled with his shooting, particularly from beyond the arc, making only one of his last 21 three-point attempts before his injury. His absence put extra pressure on other Celtics players like Jayson Tatum and Derrick White to step up.

During the game, Tatum did his part, leading the Celtics with 32 points and 4 rebounds on 50% shooting. Derrick White also had a standout performance, adding 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. Despite their efforts, the Warriors ultimately edged out the Celtics, thanks to Stephen Curry’s clutch performance with 27 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds. The Warriors managed to take advantage of the Celtics’ cold shooting in the second quarter and maintained control in the second half, clinching a 118-112 victory.

While the Celtics missed Brown’s presence on the court, Mazzulla’s humorous take on the situation allowed a glimpse into his personality and the camaraderie within the team. His lighthearted attitude provided a refreshing contrast to the intensity of NBA game days and the pressures surrounding player injuries. 

For fans, this exchange was a reminder that even amid the intensity of professional sports, moments of humor and levity are still appreciated. And while Brown’s return timeline remains uncertain, Mazzulla’s focus remains on navigating each game with optimism, humor, and a focus on team cohesion.
