Can the Green Shirts choose to replicate this road?

I saw a news today that Celtics player Jaylen Brown finished the season with a partial meniscus injury with a partial tear on his right knee. According to sources, Brown played with injuries in the last month of the regular season and during the playoffs until the Eastern Conference semifinals lost to the Knicks in Game 6. This week he will undergo further evaluation to determine if surgery is required.

According to previous reports, Brown has been treated with knee pain injections since March. Once Jaylen Brown undergoes meniscus surgery, the recovery period after the surgery will be at least six months or even one year.

Derry Kross had meniscus surgery in 2013. He rested for about six months after the injury and then returned, but after that he experienced repeated injuries. Coach Long also suffered a meniscus tear in 2013 and underwent surgery. After about 9 months of recovery, he returned to the field.

If Jaylen Brown really needs surgery after evaluation, then the Celtics are likely to face the situation where Double Tanhua will be absent throughout the season next season. And in the offseason, the Celtics' team-breaking trade is imperative. Just a year ago, they just won the 18th championship trophy in team history. But next season, they may face the situation of becoming an instant bottom in the Eastern Conference.

However, there are similar examples in the alliance. The 19-year Golden State Warriors also failed to defend their title due to injuries, Kevin Durant left the team, and Klay Thompson has been in recovery after a torn cruciate ligament in the finals. Ace Stephen Curry only played 5 games, but the team was reimbursed for the season due to a broken hand, and the team failed to make the playoffs for two consecutive seasons since then.

However, in those two seasons, the team did not get nothing. Although the team chose the second-tier Wiseman's growth was not as expected, Jordan Poole's growth brought unexpected surprises. In the 21-22 season, the Golden State Warriors, who escaped the injury troubles, made a comeback and finally won the seventh NBA championship trophy in team history. And the opponent they defeated in the final was the Celtics.

Can the Green Shirts choose to replicate this road? Although the road is rugged and the process is difficult, with the current age of Shuangtanhua, there may not be no chance to fight for another sunny day in one to two years.
