In isolation for ten days following his contamination by Covid-19, Jaylen Brown is back in the Boston group, and Ime Udoka has announced that he will start for the opening of the season, tonight, at New York.
The full-back / winger had ” generally mild symptoms “, the most troublesome having been difficulty in breathing.
“The most worrying was my breathing”, he explained. “I had to concentrate to get my breathing back to normal. (…) But the more I concentrated on it, the more I was able to gain in efficiency. “
Like Jayson Tatum last year, Jaylen Brown will have an inhaler at his disposal if he struggles to catch his breath, but the All-Star is hoping he doesn’t have to use it.
“I feel pretty good overall. After being in quarantine and increasing the intensity level, there are obviously concerns, risk of injury and things like that. Some coaches (assistants) worry if it’s too early, just compared to the intensity of the NBA. “
Ime Udoka is however ready to revive his player directly at Madison Square Garden. The Boston coach has indicated that he would start alongside Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Grant Williams and Robert Williams, knowing that Al Horford, infected a little later than Jaylen Brown, is still in quarantine.
