Joe Mazzulla had a strange exchange with Celtics reporters about Jaylen Brown's injury update

The Boston Celtics lost their second game of the season on Wednesday night, falling to the Golden State Warriors 118-112 at TD Garden. Notably absent from the floor was reigning Finals MVP Jaylen Brown, who missed his third straight contest with a hip injury.

The franchise hasn't revealed much information about Brown's injury other than saying it is a hip strain, and reporters attended head coach Joe Mazzulla's pregame press conference hoping to get an update on the star's status . Those hopes were dashed by a genuinely funny exchange between the unlikely coach and the questioners.

Here is the transcribed interaction for your reading pleasure:

Reporter A: “Were you able to talk to him about the injury?”

Mazzulla: “I talk to him every day.”

Reporter A: “What were those conversations like?”

Mazzulla: “We both mumble when we talk, just shake hands and carry on.”

Reporter A: “Did he even mumble anything about his hip?”

Mazzulla: “Couldn’t understand him.”

Then another reporter was given the opportunity to follow up.

Reporter B: “Do you have any idea if this will stay that way for a while?”

Mazzulla: “The murmur or the injury?”

Reporter B: “Both.”

“Mazzulla: “Oh. I don't. He works hard every day and tries to come back. I think it's an everyday thing. We’ll see how he feels when he wakes up tomorrow and go from there, but he’s in there every day working on it.”

The whole thing was made all the more hilarious when Mazzulla managed to avoid giving a substantive answer. This is usually how teams prefer to handle public questions about a player's health. But Mazzulla, as is his wont, found a far more entertaining way of doing his business.

Brown will have a chance to take the floor again on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET against the Brooklyn Nets.
