Because of a knee injury, Brown has missed five games for the Celtics in the month of March. However, the Georgia native has appeared in each of the Celtics' last three games. Unfortunately for Brown and the Celtics, the team has ruled him out against the Grizzlies.

Both the Boston Celtics and the Memphis Grizzlies may be without one of their star players in Monday night's matchup.

So, regarding whether Jaylen Brown is playing tonight vs. the Grizzlies, the Celtics have little incentive to rush him back with their playoff seeding essentially solidified. However, his status will gain clarity closer to the game's 7:30 PM EST tipoff.
