Malcom brogdon He was a big part of the Boston Celtics’ success during the regular season, but he didn’t look like his usual self during the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat.
Now we know why.

Weis also stated that the injury occurred in Game 1 of the Conference Finals, which The Celtics lost 123–116 at TD Garden., In addition, Weis told Brogdon that he “was initially dealing with golfer’s elbow soreness during the second-round series against Philadelphia, but an MRI after Game 1 against the Heat determined he had a problem with Miami Heat Big Kevin Brown.” Love aggravated the injury by tearing a tendon midway boxing. Through the first quarter.”
It’s plausible that Brogdon is fighting this injury to try to help his teammates score goals for the post-season, but if he is truly limited in his shooting – it’s a sore right elbow/forearm. has an injury and he shoots right handed – so maybe it would be wise not to give him too many minutes for the rest of the playoffs. Giving Peyton Pritchard or Sam Hauser more playing time are two options for the Celtics.
Since Game 1 of the Conference Finals, Brogdon is shooting 1-for-10 on 3-point attempts and 5-for-20 on all shots, and he is 3-for-14 from beyond the arc in the overall series. Brogdon’s defense has also been very poor in the last two playoff rounds.
The Celtics went down 0-3 in their series versus the Heat but won game 4 on tuesday night, The conference finals resume in Boston on Thursday night, where the C’s face a must-win Game 5 at the TD Garden.
