The Boston Celtics recently found themselves the subject of speculation regarding the COVID-19 vaccination status of their players in light of a potential series against the Toronto Raptors in a city with a vaccine mandate requiring vaccination to play.
The Celtics have had a longstanding policy that seems to come directly from ownership to avoid discussing all things related to COVID-19 directly with the media as it pertains to their players and staff. The Union has had similar stances that have at times put them at odds with public health advocates, adding fuel to speculation the Celtics might still have holdouts despite reporting to the contrary.
Asked about his potential availability in such a series and the surrounding controversy resulting from the stances mentioned above, star forward Jaylen Brown had plenty to say after Boston’s blowout win over the Washington Wizards.
How will Boston adapt to life without their defensive anchor in the frontcourt? https://t.co/u7TmLVzcLq
