Professional athletes have had to get creative in regards to their training with the coronavirus pausing seasons and closing team facilities. Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown has been able to do just that. With help from his grandfather, Willie Brown, the fourth-year Celtic is working hard to make sure he’s ready for whenever the NBA season resumes. Jaylen told The Boston Globe that Willie, who spent his earlier days sparring with Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Sonny Liston, has been training the 23-year-old with a pair of boxing gloves on. “We said we needed him to help me train and get back ready for the season, so he could feel comfortable sticking around here,” Jaylen told The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach in a story published Monday. “But on the other side of that, he’s like, ‘OK, we’re going to train then.’ We’ve been training hard and a lot,” the No. 3 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft said. “On one hand, it’s great that he’s comfortable being here, but on the other he’s making me work my (butt) off.” Jaylen admitted the workouts are a bit different than the ones he’s grown used to at Auerbach Center. “He has me doing a lot of things I’ve never done before,” Jaylen said. “It’s the old way of training. Everything he does is kind of a throwback, but it’s good. He’s never been stagnant, and I got that from him.” Boston fans certainly are eager to see how it will pay off for Jaylen when the Celtics (hopefully) are able to return to the hardwood.

Jaylen Brown Said It’s ‘Understood’ That NBA Would Restart Into Playoffs — NESN.com
There’s no telling when the NBA will make its comeback, or if, but there is a general consensus of what it will look like when it does. Commissioner Adam Silver said he hopes to have a decision in two-to-four weeks, and reports came out yesterday that the owners are feeling positive about momentum towards finishing the season. And after the league’s players association polled its members yesterday, it’s clear players want to get back, too. Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown on Wednesday gave an interview with CNN, revealing that in a private player call, some of the NBA’s most influential athletes find it important to finish the year, and they all have the understanding that the league rolls right into the playoffs upon its return. “I think that is kind of, like, understood already, in a sense,” Brown said, transcribed by the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmeslbach. “I don’t want to jump the gun. But I think the playoffs is what makes the league most of its money, and I think if we all agree to come back and play in the playoffs, I think it can regenerate (the income) so that we’ll be able to have a pretty solid salary cap going into next year. So the playoffs are what’s important.” What that playoff format will look like is to be determined, but it would be easier than cramming the remainder of the regular season into a shorter time and is likely to be held in a campus-type centralized location.
