Head coach Joe Mazzulla said Saturday that Brown (knee) was able to go through practice this week without restrictions and will play Sunday in Game 1 of the Celtics' first-round playoff series versus the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brown missed the final three games of the regular season due to a right knee impingement but appears ready to go for the playoffs without any major restrictions, according to Jay King of The Athletic. The star forward didn't play more than 31 minutes in any of his last eight appearances during the regular season, averaging 16.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 three-pointers.
