Weiss: Celtics’ Malcolm Brogdon is optimistic he won’t need offseason surgery

The future of 2023 Sixth Man of the Year award winner Malcolm Brogdon will be a hot topic this offseason following his disappointing performance in the Eastern Conference Finals. The reason has centered around his injured elbow and The Athletic NBA insider Jared Weiss is saying he may not be going under the knife this offseason for repair. The new report, which breaks down the optimism of the Boston Celtics’ guard to avoid surgery on his injured elbow tendon, also details how he hopes to be a team member this fall for the new season.

Brogdon initially injured his elbow in Game One against the Miami Heat in the 2023 Eastern Conference finals. The Virginia alum sat out Games 2 and 6, never genuinely being healthy in the series.

Brogdon averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in his first season, with Boston accepting a bench role after spending most of his career as a starter. He saw a slight dip in production during the postseason and was a shell of himself throughout the series loss to Miami.
