The good news is that Jaylen Brown is off the injury list. He was out for Monday’s victory against the Raptors due to hyperextension in his right knee. Before being downgraded to out on the injury report prior to Monday, Brown’s status was previously listed as doubtful. However, the fact that he’s no longer even mentioned is encouraging for him.

Victor Wembanyama, the top selection, will attend a game in Boston for the first time ever. The C’s had previously faced him in San Antonio, when Wembanyama shown his unearthly abilities despite the team winning handily. As they attempt to shock the Celtics, the Spurs have struggled this season, sporting a 7-32 record.
The Celtics have a 19-0 record in the Garden, which is a franchise-best start to a season, and they have yet to lose at home this year. Even with the departure of Wembanyama and the Spurs, this week will be significant in Boston. The Nuggets, the defending champions, will play in the Garden on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
