From Jayson Tatum's lavish promise to a mask fitting, Brown is making the best of it.

“I’m taking it day to day right now,” he said. He can play with Grant [Williams], he can play with Blake [Griffin] and Luke [Kornet], he can play with Al [Horford] and he can play with Rob [Williams]. “He’s very detail-oriented, he asks a lot of questions, he wants to get it right,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said. “It’s going to come again,” Williams said, smiling. He’ll wear a mask when he does return, and said he’s actually enjoyed the process of being fitted for it.
