"Picked it [the vase], set it on the ground, realized you probably shouldn't set glass on the ground," Brown said. "Reached down and picked it back up, and it got me."

Brown also said that he's expected to be ready for NBA the playoffs, but he's pissed about an unfortunate injury.

His hand was wrapped in bandages as he spoke with reporters at TD Garden ahead of Friday's game.

Boston had a remarkable 2021-22 season as they executed one of the most significant turnarounds in league history. They transformed from a team that was expected to miss the playoffs to becoming Eastern Conference champions by the end of the season.

The Celtics came up short by two games in their quest to win the 18th championship banner.
