Jaylen Brown<\/strong><\/a> suited up for the Boston Celtics’ 102-100 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night despite being listed as a Game Time Decision due to a groin injury. But the 27-year-old wing was hampered by the injury as he turned in his second-worst performance of the season last night. Brown<\/a> finished with 12 points on 5 of 16 shooting, including 1 of 7 from the 3-point line. He recorded six rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and two steals.<\/p>\n
