On June 12, Beijing time, Celtics star Jaylen Brown successfully underwent arthroscopic debridement surgery on his right knee and is expected to recover before the start of the new season training camp and participate in the training camp without any restrictions. The Celtics said Brown underwent minimally invasive surgery to clear his knee. Subsequently, Jaylen Brown posted a photo of himself after surgery on social media to report that he was safe, and his knee was wrapped in a thick bandage.

Previously, sources revealed to ESPN in May that Brown had partially torn the meniscus in his right knee at the end of the season. He played with an injury in the final month of the regular season and throughout the playoffs. Brown has been receiving knee pain relief injections since March, according to sources.

Jaylen Brown played in 63 regular season games this season, averaging 34.2 minutes per game, scoring 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting 46.3% from the field and 32.4% from three-point range. In 11 playoff games, he averaged 22.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 36.5 minutes per game, shooting 44.1% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range.

With partner Tatum expected to miss most of the 2025-26 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon (an injury that cost him a playoff run and dashed the Celtics' hopes of defending the title), Brown's importance next season has become even more apparent.

Brown's salary for the 2025-26 season is $53 million, the second season of his five-year, $304 million contract — the largest contract in NBA history at the time of signing. However, the latest report suggests that while Celtic are not peddling Brown, they are willing to listen to offers about him.
