The Celtics' Jaylen Brown (hip) returns after four games

MILWAUKEE – Boston Celtics winger Jaylen Brown is available for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks after missing four games with a left hip flexor strain.

Brown was listed as questionable on Boston's injury report, but Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said at his pregame availability that the three-time All-Star was ready to play.

“No minute limit,” Mazzulla said. “He can run, jump, shoot, pass, cut. He’s ready to go.”

Brown averaged 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists in six games this season after being named NBA Finals MVP last season.

The Bucks will have Gary Trent Jr. unavailable for a second straight game due to lower back spasms.
