Celtics' Jaylen Brown out of action with adductor strain

Boston Celtics star guard Jaylen Brown will be out of action at least a week because of a right adductor strain, the team said Thursday before its game against the host Brooklyn Nets in New York.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said that Brown's injury recovery time could be "pretty short" and he would be out "probably a week or two."

The 6-foot-6 Brown is averaging career highs with 27.2 points per game and 7.1 rebounds per
