Brown started wearing a black facemask after suffering a facial fracture back on Feb. 8 after colliding with Jayson Tatum. <\/p>\n<p>The two-time All-Star started Game 4 wearing the mask, but missed six of his first seven shots. He blamed the mask for his shooting woes and removed it in the second quarter. He went 11-for-15 for the rest of the game to finish with 31 points, four rebounds and three assists. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know, maybe it was all in my head,&#8221; Brown said after the game regarding his mask. &#8220;I just needed something different when I took it off. It just gave me the edge I needed.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Brown Takes Off Mask 31 Pts!

He said he doesn&#8217;t want to get hit, because if he gets hit there again, he might need surgery. So, look for that. Jaylen Brown the masked man is coming back.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/news-that-s-money-make-next-year-fans-roast-dillon-brooks-nba-fined-25k-ducking-media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">&#8220;That&#8217;s more money than he&#8217;ll make all of next year&#8221; &#8211; Fans roast Dillon Brooks after NBA fined him $25K for ducking media<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>Jaylen Brown could be a target for the Houston Rockets this summer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat\" src=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/9b52f-16829876380593-1920.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><img class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/9b52f-16829876380593-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/9b52f-16829876380593-1920.jpg?w=720 720w ,https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/9b52f-16829876380593-1920.jpg?w=840 840w, https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/9b52f-16829876380593-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w , https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/9b52f-16829876380593-1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 720w,(max-width: 420px) 840w,(max-width: 600px) 1200w, 1920w\" alt=\"Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/9b52f-16829876380593-1920.jpg\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201280%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jaylen Brown&#8217;s relationship with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/boston-celtics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Boston Celtics<\/a> and their fanbase is perhaps complicated. Brown has been linked to trade rumors over the past several years, while some fans wanted him out before their turnaround last season. <\/p>\n<p>With former Celtics head coach Ime Udoka now in Houston, Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports speculated that the Rockets could go after Brown in the offseason. Fischer explained that Udoka could show interest in his former player and that Houston has the assets to pull off the deal. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown, whom rival executives are closely monitoring as he becomes extension eligible this summer, has been one of Udoka\u2019s most public supporters after Boston suspended the coach following an improper relationship with a Celtics staffer,&#8221; Fischer wrote. &#8220;The Rockets, sources said, also addressed the idea of including second-year guard Jalen Green, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, as part of a package for acquiring established star talent.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Best of Jaylen Brown in 2022-23 NBA Regular Season\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z-_ueg923BQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/youtube\" data-embed=\"Z-_ueg923BQ\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/05ffd-16829881068031-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/05\/05ffd-16829881068031-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Brown is eligible to sign an extension this summer.
