Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown a few days ago underwent a successful right knee arthroscopic debridement procedure. The team says he is expected to participate in training camp without limitation.
Per the Boston Globe, “a league source said that the procedure was done to alleviate pain in the partially torn meniscus that slowed Brown during the final few months of the season. A debridement procedure is a minimally invasive surgery in which the damaged part of the meniscus is trimmed or smoothed, with a shorter recovery time than a full repair.”
Per the Boston Herald, “the four-time All-Star suffered his injury before the NBA All-Star break in February and dealt with knee issues through the playoffs. The team announced the injury as a bone bruise and posterior impingement, and it later was revealed that Brown also was playing through a partially torn meniscus. He received pain management injections before the postseason, which head coach Joe Mazzulla described as “part of the rehab process for him to get back to be his absolute best.”
