ORLANDO — The Celtics will be down just one starter for Sunday’s Game 4 first round matchup against the Magic. The team upgraded Jaylen Brown to available about an hour before opening tip. He was listed as questionable with a right knee posterior impingement for the second straight game.

Brown also said he suffered a dislocated finger in Boston’s Game 3 loss after a flagrant foul from Cole Anthony but his knee injury was the only ailment listed on the report.

Jrue Holiday will miss his second straight game with a strained hamstring. Jayson Tatum was removed from the injury report entirely as he continues to play through a bone bruise in his wrist that sidelined him for Game 2.

Brown has dealt with the knee ailment for the past several weeks, missing three games at the end of the regular season with the injury. He played 42 minutes in Game 2 but was limited to just 34 minutes in Game 3 due to foul trouble. He scored 19 points in the 95-93 loss.
