Jaylen Brown will play in the season opener against the 76ers

The Boston Celtics will have a star in front Jailen Brown available for the team’s first game of the 2025-26 NBA season. Brown was declared ready to go against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden in Bantown by the team, according to Daniel Donabedian of ClutchPoints.
Brown’s availability for the 76ers game was considered a game-time requirement, but he is now expected to lead the Celtics on the floor against their Atlantic Division rivals.
The Celtics are without the other half of their superstar tandem, with Jayson Tatum expected to miss the entire 2025-26 season as he continues to recover from a devastating Achilles injury.
Brown, meanwhile, will compete alongside Derrick White, Anfernee Simmons, Sam Hauser and Peyton Pritchard for Boston, which is coming off a 61-21 season and exiting the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.
