ESPN reporters are suspected of making fakes. What kind of injuries did the Celtics star suffer?

According to ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne, Boston Celtics wing star Jaylen Brown has been sticking with a partially torn meniscus on the game during the season. Throughout the last month of the regular season and during the playoffs, Brown's meniscus on his right knee was in a partial tear state, and he also fought with injuries until the Eastern Conference semi-finals G6 lost to the Knicks and was eliminated in the series.

Then sports medicine expert Dr. Brian Sutterer reposted Shelburne's report on Brown's injury and said in a sarcastic tone: It seems I missed the medical school lesson about bone contusion and meniscus tear are the same injury. Based on a series of previous news, we can probably understand that Brown's injury was a bone contusion. Obviously, bone contusion and partial meniscus tear are completely two types of injuries, and the impact on the player's condition is obviously completely different. Therefore, Sutterer's doubts about Shelburne's report is also very reasonable, which may be something that many fans find it incomprehensible. The most important thing is that if Brown is actually suffering from a partially torn meniscus on his right knee, he will continue to play at the risk of increased injuries, which will completely ruin his career, which will also make everyone more suspicious of the Celtics' personnel use arrangements.

In the NBA regular season this season, Brown made a total of 63 appearances in 82 games, averaging 34.3 minutes per game, averaging 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 2.6 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 34.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.4%. In the playoffs, Brown averaged 36.5 minutes in 11 games, with averaging 22.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks, and 3.5 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.1%, his three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 75.8%.

In fact, from Brown's actual situation, his performance in the regular season and playoffs this season was actually stable at the same level, without a significant improvement, and no big decline. Brown is a player with good scoring ability, but we can also intuitively feel it from his performance during the playoffs. He does not have the ability to play the role of a team as the star, and he can only play the role of a second-in-command. Since there is no big difference in performance during the regular season and during the playoffs, then the question arises. Did Brown really suffer from a partially torn meniscus on his right knee? Or is Shelburne constantly creating all kinds of fake news?
