Celtics forward Jaylen Brown suffered a scary fall after converting a dunk on Thursday night in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After laying still on the ground for a couple of minutes and the medical team bringing out a stretcher as a precaution, Brown ended up walking into the locker room under his own power.
He was later listed to be under concussion protocol, and has now officially been diagnosed with a concussion.
#NEBHInjuryReport: Brad Stevens says that Jaylen Brown has no structural damage, but that Brown did suffer a concussion and will not be available tomorrow night against Indiana.

The 21-year-old survived with no other injuries, which is huge news as he will be able to return at full strength after recovering from the concussion.
Browns’ status will be a huge impact on some near future matchups against tough opponents that include the Washington Wizards on March 14, Oklahoma City Thunder on March 20, and Portland Trailblazers on March 23.
