The Boston Celtics are ending the season with a bang as the team has won seven out of their last 10 games. With a 56-25 season record, the Celtics are the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, right behind the Milwaukee Bucks. Celtics star Jayson Tatum is leading the team in points and rebounds, and the morale in the camp is high. However, an unconventional injury to their star guard has fans speculating about the true nature behind it as many are calling out the cover-up. 

The Celtics have one of the best-developing duos in the NBA right now. Both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been nothing short of amazing and have led Boston to multiple Eastern Conference finals in the past few years. One thing that might jeopardize this duo is the trade talk surrounding Brown.

Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown combo may get broken up

Jaylen Brown has been the center of trade rumors for quite some time now. Trade rumors surrounding the Celtics star started brewing right before the All-Star break in February and the Houston Rockets are the latest suitors for Brown’s services.

The head of basketball operations, Brad Stevens, and team owner, Wyc Grousbeck both apparently assured Brown that he will remain a Celtic. However, his displeasure with the team’s fanbase and a few other issues may lead Brown to switch teams.

“This S**t Still Hurts”: Blockbuster Celtics Trade for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown Leaves Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce Fans Nostalgic

Meanwhile, fans on social media are speculating on Jaylen Brown’s most recent injury. According to Athletic writer Jared Weiss, Jaylen Brown cut his hand while picking up a broken glass vase last night and received 5 stitches.

However, one good thing is that he is expected to play in the upcoming playoffs. Given that there is only one game left in the Celtics’ schedule, the team can afford to miss Brown’s production as he heals from his injury. But teammate Jayson Tatum and others would need Brown by the time the playoffs start.

Fans are not convinced about the reason behind Brown’s injury

Many fans on social media are not convinced about the reason given for Jaylen Brown’s injury. The majority of people are speculating and calling it a cover-up for the actual reason how Brown was injured.

One fan tweeted, “So I’m not the only who feels like this is the biggest cliché excuse ever? Good to know.”

While another fan commented, “Really tho ?!? watering plants?! that’s the best explanation they came up with lmao.”

Here are a few more reactions from fans on Twitter.

Many called out the reason given for Brown’s injury. While others started connecting the dots as former Celtics star Rajon Rondo used somewhat of the same tactic in order to not play for the team. So, this might add fuel to the rumors of Brown wanting out of Boston. 

Let’s see if the actual reason behind Brown’s mysterious injury ever hits the light of day.
