Celtics missing key pieces, while Hornets try to avoid last place
The NBA-leading Boston Celtics will be without All-Star Jaylen Brown when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night.
Brown collided with teammate Jayson Tatum while both players were chasing down a rebound in the second quarter of Boston's 106-99 victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday. Tatum's right elbow hit Brown on the left side of his face during the collision. Brown left the game and did not return.
