The Celtics signed Brown to a four-year, $106.3 million contract in 2019. It has proven to be one of the most team-friendly deals in the league.
Brown is averaging 22.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in the 2022 playoffs, while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 38.6 percent on 3-point attempts.
The Celtics will play the Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Game 1 is scheduled for Thursday at 9 p.m. ET. The Warriors will play host for the first two games as the team with home-court advantage.
