Malcolm Brogdon leaves Game 5 early
Boston Celtics shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon halfway through Game 5, and was later ruled doubtful to return by the team. It was reported earlier in the week that the Atlanta native was playing through a torn tendon in his right arm, though he hasn’t missed any time thus far with the injury. Payton Pritchard and Derrick White picked up Brogdon’s minutes in his absence. Brogdon has been a critical offensive piece for the Celtics all season long, providing shooting and playmaking off the bench. He earned Sixth Man of the Year Award honors as such, though his shooting has been down considerably in this Eastern Conference finals round.

Malcolm Brogdon has been playing through a partial tear in the tendon coming out of his right elbow that leads into his forearm, team sources told The Athletic. Brogdon suffered the injury in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, according to the sources, who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record. The Celtics guard was initially dealing with golfer’s elbow soreness during the second-round series against Philadelphia, but an MRI after Game 1 against the Heat determined he exacerbated the injury by tearing the tendon in boxing out Miami Heat big Kevin Love midway through the first quarter. -via The Athletic / May 25, 2023
