The Boston Celtics suffered their second horrible-looking injury of the season tonight after stud forward Jaylen Brown fell hard on his head and neck area in a dunk gone terribly wrong. As you can see below, Brown is able to split two defenders successfully to get to the hoop, but lost grip of the rim and fell awkwardly as a result.
Brown stayed down for a while but was somehow able to get up and walk off on his own:

TNT’s Allie LaForce reported Brown is going through concussion protocol and will be taken to a hospital for further testing. He had logged 14 points, 5 rebounds, and a +/- of 12 before the injury.
