Jaylen Brown to miss Bucks clash with illness

When the Boston Celtics face off against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, the Bucks will have an added boost with the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo from injury. While the Bucks get a boost, the Celtics will be short-handed as star wing Jaylen Brown is set to miss the game due to an illness as per NBA insider Marc Stein.

Brown has been the driving force behind the Celtics’ success this season, playing at an MVP level in the absence of Jayson Tatum. The Celtics have surprised many and surpassed expectations this season. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

The Celtics say Jaylen Brown (illness), Neemias Queta (rest) and Jayson Tatum (Achilles) will all miss tonight's game against Milwaukee … while the Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo has been upgraded to questionable after a five-week absence.
