Jaylen Brown’s injury couldn’t have happened at the worst time. The Celtics star has suffered a hand injury from an accident that happened off the court. Brown told the Boston media he needed five stitches in his right hand after cutting it on glass. According to the former Cal Bear, he said he dropped a vase at home, resulting in the injury. The unfortunate injury will likely sideline the Celtics star for the rest of the season. However, he will be available for the start of the playoffs.
The Celtics are one of the top teams heading into the NBA Playoffs. Brown is one half of a superstar duo in Boston. Jayson Tatum and Brown have led the Celtics through an amazing season. The team will be the two seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs. The Celtics are the reigning Eastern Conference Champions. As has been noted, Stephen A. Smith believes the Celtics are the best team in the NBA. That is high praise coming from one of the most prominent voices in the game.
Jaylen Brown Says Celtics Fans Shouldn’t Worry

However, it would be hard not to worry as a Celtics fan. In the photo above, it seems Brown’s hand is heavily bandaged. The injury is a tough break for the young star. Recently, there have been discussions among the media that Brown may not like his role in Boston. However, according to Brown, those reports are all just smoke and mirrors. Brown is enjoying his time in Boston. Also stating he has enjoyed watching Tatum grow on and off the court.
The Celtics will not know their first-round opponent until after the play-in tournament. If the current Eastern Conference seventh seed were to stay in that position, the Celtics would meet Miami. The Heat are just a few years removed from their own Eastern Conference title. A potential meeting between the two would be a massive matchup. Do you believe the injury will affect the way Brown plays? Let us know your thoughts on the injury in the comment section. As always, keep it right here at HNHH for the latest news in the NBA.
Jaylen Brown is one-half of one the most dominant duos in the NBA. Brown, alongside Jayson Tatum, has already accomplished so much in a short time. The Boston Celtics stars are currently the defending Eastern Conference Champions. They’ve had the league on notice since the first time they shared the court. However, when a team has two stars, many believe it is only a matter of time before they split. But Brown doesn’t seem to have that mentality.
Brown has the exact opposite belief about the super duo. In a recent interview with Shams Charania, Brown opened up on his relationship with Tatum. “I get why people try to break up duos because so far, (Jayson and I) have been incredibly successful. At this point, we’re part of each other’s destiny.” Brown is of the opinion that this team has a lot left in the tank. Even Stephen A. Smith believes they are the best team in the NBA this season.

Brown doesn’t hold a grudge toward Tatum for any of his successes. According to Brown, “Him being the All-Star MVP, celebrating him getting the gold medal…that brings genuine joy for me. I appreciate him sharing those moments. We’re kind of a part of each other’s destiny in a sense.” Jaylen Brown is saying all the things you want to hear from a teammate. His comments also sound like they are coming from a genuine place.
Brown and Tatum know that the job isn’t finished. They gave the Golden State Warriors everything they wanted and more in last year’s finals. However, the Celtics still found themselves on the losing end. But, one can learn even in defeat. The Celtics know what it takes to get to the mountaintop. Now the only question left is, can they plant their flag at the top? Do you believe the Celtics have what it takes to win the NBA Finals? Sound off in the comment section below.

If you are an NBA historian, then you know there is a conspiracy around Paul Pierce and his infamous wheelchair game in the 2008 NBA Finals. For those who may not know, Pierce got injured while playing against the Lakers in Game 1 of the championship series. He was subsequently taken away in a wheelchair before coming back to the floor not soon after. Overall, fans were convinced that he was going to be out for the series. Consequently, there was a feeling that the Lakers were guaranteed to win it all.
However, Pierce’s unlikely comeback was able to rally the Celtics. They eventually won the series and cemented themselves in NBA history. Moreover, Pierce walked away with NBA Finals MVP, which was a pretty incredible achievement. However, the conspiracy surrounding this moment is that Pierce actually had to go to the bathroom. Some believe he had an accident in his shorts and needed to be carried off in order to hide his desperate situation. Now, however, he is being given an opportunity to speak on it.
Pierce and Kevin Garnett recently took a trip to the Celtics facility where they interviewed Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. During the conversation, Brown asked Paul Pierce about what really went down that day. Pierce seemed a bit embarrassed by the question, however, he answered it regardless. As you can see, he blames the wheelchair moment on a sprained MCL. Garnett was a bit confused by what the rumors were, which led to a hilarious explanation from Pierce. Either way, Pierce is standing on the fact that he was truly injured.
Despite his recent explanation, not everyone is going to believe Pierce. Pierce is one of those media personalities that NBA fans love to hate. However, you have to take him at his word here. Either way, this is a legendary moment in NBA history. That 2008 Celtics team will always be beloved, and the current Celtics roster is trying to recreate their success. Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
Entrepreneur and Instagram model Bernice Burgos has recently sparked dating rumors with NBA player of the Celtics, Jaylen Brown. Bernice hasn’t been tied to anyone since she was spotted with Quavo at NBA All-Star Weekend in 2018. Bernice has also been linked to Drake, saying that he’s “The sweetest person ever.” And if he were to get married right now, she’d show her support with no hesitation. Drake even went as far as rapping about the model in Romeo Santos’ song “Odio,” saying, “And you look like you drawn by an artist. No, you you look like Bernice and Yaris. But both put together, those are some girls that I know from back home.” Are Bernice Burgos and Jaylen Brown dating?
In an interview withThe Breakfast Club, Burgos opens up about herself and how she started to take over her career as an entrepreneur, urban model, and fearless mother from the Bronx. Having her first daughter at age 15, Bernice explains how the experience of having to adjust from a teenage lifestyle to an adult one with demanding needs was difficult because she had to leave behind her time as a teenager to be a mom to a new baby girl, Ashley. Nonetheless, she took on the responsibilities and the two share a close bond to this day. Today, Ashley is 26 years old while Burgos’ youngest daughter, Saria is 16. Raising both children as a single mother, Burgos has been able to exemplify herself as a good role model for her kids, as her work hustle has always been to the grind.
Bernice was first recognized by J. Cole in 2011. He was so taken by the model that he included her as the lead in his music video for his popular song, “Work Out”. Her publicity continued to manifest and her online platform became larger, as her Instagram followers grew in millions. Burgos then made a cameo in Rick Ross’s “Diced Pineapples” video featuring Drake and Wale. She describes the experience as a time when she was able to come out of her shell to become the reflection of who she is today, a strong, beautiful, and successful woman in business. It’s no wonder she’s now treating herself to love, as Burgos is more than deserving of some time on the town.
As of late, Burgos has been seen with NBA player, Jayden Brown. This one seems a bit more serious, as the two were spotted together around Valentine’s Day in 2023. At the time, Celtics player, Brown, was competing in the NBA All-Star game. During his off time, the two were seen hanging out in Atlanta and Boston. Burgos also posted an Instagram video to her 7 million followers of red roses and a romantic dinner date. Though there was no man in the videos or photos, it is clear that the mystery bae is Brown. The two were also pictured cuddling while allegedly on vacation together.
Though fans of the two should be showing support, the age gap between the two has sparked inevitable comments. Being that Burgos is 42 and Brown is 26, they’ve faced backlash from followers via Twitter. Fans took to the internet to joke about Jaylen being a “step-grandfather” to Burgos’ 26-year-old daughter. Comments weren’t all bad though, as people also shared memes in support of the blossoming relationship.
Brown has previously been linked to 28-year-old Instagram model, Jacqueline Hawileh. The two kept their relationship private, even more so than his with Bernice Burgos. However, the two are known to have dated for a decent amount of time.
Aside from Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Hawileh, he hasn’t been linked to many women. Burgos serves as one of the first women that he’s been seen in public with. As of late, Burgos was spotted courtside at Brown’s Celtics game in late 2022. The Celtics are currently first in the NBA Eastern Conference. Making his NBA entrance in 2016, Brown was a third overall pick for the Boston Celtics after one year of playing in college for the California Golden Bears.

Bernice Burgos And Jaylen Brown Are Both Successful
As for what’s next for Burgos and Brown— Burgos runs a clothing business called Bold & Beautiful Sleepwear that offers luxury pajama sets and super cute onesies. The styles are usually sold out, so when you come across your size, definitely order yourself a set because her line has nothing but positive reviews. Brown, however, recently defeated his team rival, the Philadelphia 76ers with a 3-pointer in the last 1.3 seconds of the game from teammate, Jason Tatum. Brown, who averages 26.5 points per game, dropped a solid 26 points against their anticipated opponent in the NBA playoffs. The team left with a win of 110-107 after the 76ers’ 3-point buzzer beater from Joel Embiid did not count.
Though there isn’t much information on their relationship, the two have shown nothing but positive support for eachother. From sitting courtside at his games to cuddling on vacation, Burgos has clearly shown deep interest in the NBA basketball player — and likewise for Brown.
Jaylen Brown spent the past week on All-Star break. The NBA All-Star weekend from Feb. 17-19 showcased some of the best skills, shooting, and dunks from basketball’s best. Included in that was the NBA All-Star game, which Brown competed in for the second time in his career. Although he had a few sour comments about the competitiveness of the game, he was still honored to be a part of it. This break also gives the NBA players a few days off from competition to rest. But, it seems that JB spent a few of those days with his new boo.
This week, a photo began to surface of Brown cozied up with socialite and influencer Bernice Burgos, Brown (26) and Burgos (42) were spotted together at a possible beach location, which sparks relationship rumors. Neither of the two has been linked to other romances lately. In the past, Burgos has had flings with rappers like T.I., Drake and Quavo, but it now seems she’s moved on to an elite athlete in Brown.
On Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14), Burgos posted on Instagram a heartfelt presentation from her mystery partner. At the time, followers didn’t know who her man was, but it now seems to have been Jaylen. Additionally, during All-Star break, Burgos also posted flicks at the beach in swimwear. This would align with the idea that Brown was with her on a tropical vacation. In Feb. 2018, Burgos and Quavo sparked dating rumors when they were seen together at NBA All-Star Weekend. So, it seems that Bernice has developed a pattern for February romances around the All-Star break. While neither side has confirmed a relationship, all the pieces add up for Jaylen Brown and Bernice Burgos to be the last celebrity match.
But, with Burgos being over 15 years older than Brown, users on Twitter have acknowledged and discussed the age gap. One user pointed fun calling Brown a “step-grandfather,” considering Bernice’s 26-year-old daughter Ashley has a daughter of her own. Also, fans pointed out that the entire Boston Celtics team has a roster of attractive patterns. This includes Jayson Tatum reportedly being linked to Ella Mai and former coach Ime Udoke previously dating Nia Long. Check out various tweets regarding Brown and Burgos below.

The NBA All-Star game fell flat this year. The NBA recently adopted rules in the past few years to make the game more intriguing. A score target in the fourth quarter and team captains picking teams instead of East vs. West were supposed to make the game more competitive. Those tactics worked for a while. However, this year they did not.
Team Giannis ousted Team LeBron on Sunday (Feb. 19) 184-175. However, there was little defense or effort given throughout the game. This led to Jayson Tatum scoring 55 points and taking home the MVP trophy. “It means the world to me,” Tatum said about winning the Kobe Bryant All-Star Game MVP. “Everybody knows how much [Kobe] meant to me. My favorite player, my idol. So it’s an honor to take this home.” However, not many others were thrilled with the outcome of the game. Players like Tatum’s Celtics teammate Jaylen Brown and coaches like Nuggets’ Michael Malone had their qualms.
Jaylen Brown Wants Change
“Real basketball is different. This was like a layup line… It was just a glorified layup line. We got to figure out how to make the game a little bit more competitive.”
Jaylen Brown with a strong statement on the All-Star game
In the post-game press conference, Team LeBron’s Jaylen Brown was asked about how he fared wearing a face mask during the game. Coming off a facial injury, Brown said he was fine. He explained that it was mostly because little effort was needed during the game. “Real basketball is different. This was like a layup line,” he said. “It was just a glorified layup line. We got to figure out how to make the game a little bit more competitive.” Additionally, Team LeBron’s coach for the night Michael Malone, head coach of the Denver Nuggets, agreed with this sentiment. Giving a harsher criticism, Malone had very few nice words to say about Sunday’s affair. “It’s an honor to be here, it’s an honor to be a part of a great weekend, great players, but that is the worst basketball game ever played,” he said.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith then applauded Malone for his comments during an ESPN broadcast Monday. “I applaud Coach Malone for highlighting the flagrant lack of effort. In basketball, they play in the summer leagues, they play in the offseason considerably harder than they played yesterday. Hell no, I didn’t enjoy it. It just reeks of a level of arrogance and taking fans for granted.” Neither of the team’s captains, LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, were not able to finish the game due to hand injuries. But, the other players did not show enough effort to even put themselves at risk for injury.
Jaylen Brown is on his way to the first NBA Finals of his career, as the Celtics finally broke through the Eastern Conference Finals ceiling on their fourth visit in the six years Brown has been on the roster, as he has developed into the Celtics second star alongside Jayson Tatum.
The former No. 3 overall pick has steadily improved over the course of his career and is now among the best two-way wings in the NBA, and as he prepares for an increased profile off of a Finals run, he’s making an off-court move to capitalize. TMZ reports Brown has signed with Kanye West’s Donda Sports, although it’s not abundantly clear what the exact relationship will be between the budding agency and the NBA star. Brown is currently on the second year of a four-year, $106 million deal with the Celtics that was negotiated by agent Jason Glushon.
Brown joins Aaron Donald with Donda Sports, as the NFL star announced his partnership with the agency this week — although he noted it was a partnership focused on off the field endorsements and ventures. Whether Brown is leaving Glushon Sports Management in total for Donda Sports or if he is joining them, like Donald, for off-field management remains to be seen, but either way it’s clear he’s getting ready to expand his brand with a new agency.
Jaylen Brown will not be an NBA All-Star for the second season in a row. officially missed out on his second straight All-Star nod Monday when NBA commissioner Adam Silver selected Cleveland Cavaliers big man Jarrett Allen as the injury replacement for Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden, who is sidelined with a sore hamstring.

“I’m not really disappointed. Like I said before, I’m not losing sleep,” Brown told reporters, as seen in the video above. “I think that my ability on both sides of the ball speaks for itself. I’m not going to knock any of those other guys. Congratulations to them. But, I think it’s situational, to be honest. I think maybe some other things go into it that maybe we don’t know about right now.
Afterwards, Brown took to social media and posted an image of Kanye West holding a notepad saying how much he should have been an All-Star.
