Jaylen Brown injured himself while watering plants

Boston Celtics received unpleasant news just days before the start of the playoffs in the NBA. The team’s star Jaylen Brown is likely to miss their first game in the playoffs because of an arm problem.

The winger cut himself while watering flowers at his home, said Brown himself, who also missed the game against the Toronto Raptors.

The 26-year-old player broke a glass vase at home and cut himself while picking up the glass. Because of the accident, his right arm had to be sewn up with five stitches.
