The Celtics failed to reach their goal of back-to-back championships, but Jaylen Brown had some choice words for Boston fans.

The defending champion Celtics were eliminated from the playoffs on Friday, having been blown out by the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, writes Brian Windhorst of ESPN.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown played through a partially torn meniscus in his right knee throughout the final month of the regular season and during the team's playoff run, according to a report from ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. Brown will be evaluated this week to determine whether or not surgery will be needed to repair the injury in his knee.
