Apparently Jaylen Brown could have changed that. The All-Star guard was invited to participate in the 2021 Dunk Contest Sunday in Atlanta but declined, Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes reported Tuesday. Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Anthony Edwards and Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges also turned down invites, per Haynes. Celtics fans probably are relieved to hear Brown won't participate. The 24-year-old has been battling a knee injury that sidelined him Sunday against the Washington Wizards, and he's questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Dunk Contest is on the same night as the All-Star Game this year, so Brown would have had a busy day. Considering Kemba Walker dealt with his own nagging knee injury after logging nearly 30 minutes in the 2020 All-Star Game, Brown is smart to err on the side of caution.
