Celtics Announce Jaylen Brown Had Offseason Surgery, Offer Timeline

Jaylen Brown went under the knife but is expected to return before the regular season tips off.

The Boston Celtics on Wednesday announced Brown underwent a successful right knee arthroscopic debridement procedure, a minimally invasive surgery used to remove damaged tissue from inside the knee joint.

Brown is expected to participate in training camp without limitation, per the Celtics.

Brown posted a photo shortly after Boston released the statement, indicating he’s in good spirits post-surgery.

It will be a pivotal offseason for Brown and the Celtics, who will be without superstar Jayson Tatum for the majority of the 2025-26 campaign. Tatum ruptured his Achilles during a playoff game and his father hinted at a mid-February return.
