Avery Bradley (illness) out vs. Suns after being hospitalized Friday

BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics find themselves once again in cut-and-paste mode with Avery Bradley (sick) out for tonight's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said rookie Jaylen Brown will be in the starting lineup.

"He (Bradley) was in the hospital most of this afternoon," Stevens said. "Hopefully he'll be home soon and get some rest. It was kind of going around. Hopefully it'll stop soon."

Being out tonight brings Bradley's missed game total to a team-high 24 (18 with a sore right Achilles; four with a strained right Achilles; and one due to illness).
