What do we need to know about Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown's knee surgery?
Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown has undergone surgery on his knee, according to a recent press release circulated by the team. What does this news mean for the Georgia native's future as a high level athlete, and what impact will it have on the Celtics short-term future and beyond?
We have known about Brown's knee woes since late in the 2024-25 NBA regular season, when it was reported that the Cal alum was playing through pain due to a bone bruise and knee impingement. That discomfort lingered and impacted his play in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, after which it was revealed that the Boston star had been playing on a partially torn meniscus.
The hosts of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning and John Zannis took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

LSU bound for Omaha after sweeping super regional (updated)
SUNDAY'S GAME — LSU 12, West Virginia 5 LSU advances to the College World Series. Next stop, Omaha. Back where LSU always feels it belongs. There was the obligatory three-hour rain delay, of course, most of it under sunny skies, but another late, late night in Alex Box Stadium ended with a 12-5 victory over West Virginia and the customary victory lap around Skip Bertman Field to high-five with fans. It's LSU's favored path to the College World Series. 'There were so many key at-bats in that deal tonight,' LSU coach Jay Johnson said. 'It would be a game that you would want to put on a tape and show future teams — like, this is how we play offensive baseball at LSU.' Jake Brown and Steven Milam each had four RBIs as the Tigers scored double-digit runs in consecutive super regional games for the first time in their 17 appearances after beating the Mountaineers 16-9 on Saturday. For a few antsy moments, it looked like they might need all of them Sunday. But the Tigers answered a mid-inning WVU uprising with a 6-run seventh inning, capped by Brown's 2-run homer, and coasted home to sweep the two games. 'I take a lot of pride in we play our best when it matters the most,' Johnson said. 'It really shined tonight. I didn't need to motivate them. 'Jake had a phenomenal game tonight. Absolute difference maker.' The Tigers took advantage of three Mountaineer errors in the seventh inning and loaded the bases with no outs on an error, a walk and hit batter before Chris Stanfield's 2-run single got it going. 'Huge hit by Chris Stanfield,' Johnson said. 'Huge.' Johnson said he actually thought about pinch-hitting for Stanfield, his No. 9 hitter. 'But I just had a good feeling, like he's hit these kind of guys well. I felt like he was focused and he's taking great at-bats for several games in a row.' Derek Curiel later scored when Ethan Frey reached on a throwing error and Milam followed with an RBI double. Brown followed with a 2-run, 471-foot blast to dead centerfield. 'Jake Brown, two-run homer,' Johnson said. 'It was a great inning. Proud of our guys for just grinding out against a really good team.' It will be LSU's 20th trip to the CWS, where the Tigers will be looking to add to their seven national championships, most recently two years ago. The Tigers, the No. 6 national seed, will face Arkansas, which swept its super regional against Tennessee, in their Omaha opener. The Tigers took two of three from the third-seeded Razorbacks in Baton Rouge during the regular season. 'We wanted to punch our ticket to Omaha,' first baseman Jared Jones said, 'and we wanted to get the bats going. And we did that. And the job's not finished. We've got a lot more work ahead of us.' The Tigers jumped all over WVU starter Jack Karsonas early and LSU's Anthony Eyanson (11-2) was dominant the first time through the Mountaineers' order. LSU led 6-0 after three and was cruising. The Tigers got a run on Brown's RBI ground out in the first inning and Milam had a 3-run double in the second, followed by back-to-back run-scoring singles by Brown and Jared Jones. But while reliever Meyer shut the door on LSU for the next four innings, West Virginia got to Eyanson for three runs on pair of home runs in the fourth and added a run in the fifth to cut the lead to 6-4. ''Chase Meyer. He's throwing 97 with a hammer breaking ball,' Johnson said of the WVU reliever. 'Really talented. But I felt like we were extending his pitch count maybe longer than he had. And we were hitting the ball pretty hard, lined out several times, kind of had some tough luck. 'Guys didn't get discouraged. And then I think when he finally kind of got tired … and I thought we took advantage of that with free bases.' Eyanson was lifted after hitting a batter on a 1-2 pitch to open the sixth. Freshman Cooper Williams came on and got three straight outs to end that inning and retired the first eight batters he faced before giving up a two-out solo home run in the eighth, followed by a walk. Chase Shores got the game's final four outs without allowing a baserunner.

New rumor details what Los Angeles Lakers must include in any summer trade for impact center
Scouts and executives around the game reportedly believe the Los Angeles Lakers will have to fork over specific assets, including Austin Reaves, if they hope to land an impact center this offseason. After being surprisingly ousted in the opening round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, the Lakers must now shift gears to improving the roster around top stars Luka Doncic and LeBron James. They will look to address different needs this summer, but adding a worthwhile big man will be their top priority. Advertisement Due to their salary limitations, getting a big from the free agent market is unlikely. Especially since the options are underwhelming. That is why a trade is expected to fill the need. But if they hope to acquire a meaningful frontcourt talent this summer, they will need to give up certain assets in any deal. 'According to rival scouts and executives, the Lakers' best assets (minus Reaves) are their 2031 first-round pick, second-year wing Dalton Knecht, and a bunch of expiring contracts,' the Los Angeles Times reported. 'Some combination of them would be a must in any deal the team would make for a center.' Myles Turner, Brook Lopez, Clint Capela, and Jaxson Hayes are the most notable names on the free agent center market. However, Turner is way out of the Lakers' price range. Lopez and Hayes have played for the franchise previously, and the organization is probably not interested in a reunion. Capela would seem like a strong option. But the LA Times revealed, 'there are questions around the league about whether he's still a full-time starter.' Advertisement More Los Angeles Lakers news and rumors:
