Celtics star Jaylen Brown trusts backup point guard Payton Pritchard, and that was evident in Boston's Monday night win over the Heat.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Brown is out with a non-COVID illness while White is dealing with a foot sprain suffered in the third quarter of Friday's win over Chicago. Brown averages 24.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists while White is the team's best on-the-ball defender.

Payton Pritchard has emerged as a Sixth Man of the Year candidate, and he's doing it in Jaylen Brown's signature 741 shoes.
