What happened to Jaylen Brown Friday 4/25/25 vs. Magic?

During Friday’s Game 3 in Orlando, Jaylen Brown suffered an injury when he went up for a layup. Cole Anthony was defending him down on the block when Brown turned baseline. Anthony grabbed Brown’s left bicep area, prohibiting him from rising up. Unfortunately, Brown tried to stabilize the fall with his left hand but dislocated the index finger in the process.

Brown played 34 minutes and finished with 19 points, six rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block. He shot 7-of-14 from the field, 1-of-2 from downtown and 4-of-5 from the line.

The injury won’t cause him to miss time, but it’s something that could become an issue later in the series.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
