Timberwolves player Rudy Gobert gave Jaylen Brown some straightforward advice after Brown's hairline became a trending topic.

Earlier in the month, Celtics player Brown was all over the internet when he leaned on an opposing player, leaving a black mark on their jersey—not just once, but twice.

Fans online noticed the dark marks on Brown's rivals, and many wondered if Brown was using a spray to darken his hairline.

Brown later joked about the situation on a live stream, admitting that his hairline was cooked.

Lots of fans shared their thoughts, and now it seems NBA players are doing the same. Gobert gave Brown some friendly advice after Saturday night’s game, where Minnesota won 119-115. Gobert suggested Brown shave his head.

After the game, Rudy Gobert was seen telling Jaylen Brown to go bald while they embraced.

The Timberwolves and Celtics players laughed it off before going their separate ways.

The two players hugged, and then the Timberwolves player pointed to his own bald head before pointing back at Brown.

Brown just laughed before moving on to shake hands with other Timberwolves players.

Earlier this month, after his hairline went viral, Brown hosted a Twitch livestream, saying, I'm cooked ngl. Tap in.

During the stream, while his friends shaved his head, he talked about balding, saying, I blame Boston. 10 years of media, stress, and championships. This is y'all's fault.

Brown even called LeBron James to jokingly ask for advice.

Code Red. "They caught me slippin'," Brown said in a voicemail to James after the NBA legend didn't answer. I need to know, Turkey or no Turkey? And I'm not talking about any cheese sandwich.

Earlier this month, Brown leaned on a Washington Wizards player and left a stain on his jersey.

Wizards player Kyshawn George pointed out the mark while with teammates.

Despite the viral embarrassment, Brown’s performance on the court doesn’t seem to have suffered.

In the loss against the Timberwolves, Brown scored an awesome 41 points, plus six rebounds, six assists, and five steals.

Gobert, on the other hand, scored 12 points, with eight rebounds and three assists.

Both the Celtics and the Timberwolves have a 10-8 record for the season and will try to improve when they play the Cavaliers and the Spurs, respectively.

Even with a stacked roster, the front office might still worry, and that's the situation for the 2026 New York Yankees and their pitchers. Looking at the names, you'd think they'd easily dominate the American League. The team of Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, Cam Schlittler, Luis Gil, Will Warren, Ryan Yarbrough, Elmer Rodriguez, and Clarke Schmidt is a group most teams would want. However, talent doesn’t ensure that players are always available, which is the Yanks' concern.

The Yankees understand how good their rotation can be when everyone is healthy, but they also know that this is not currently the case. Cole is recovering from Tommy John surgery. With his return expected between May and June, the Yankees can't count on him for Opening Day or the start of the season. Rodon is in a similar boat after elbow surgery, making his early-season availability uncertain. Schmidt is expected to contribute later in the season.

These key players won’t be ready for the first game of 2026, making the beginning of the year a challenge.

In the meantime, the Yankees will depend on Fried, Schlittler, Warren, Gil, Yarbrough, and the less tested Rodriguez. While this group has potential, the margin for error is slim. Spring training can quickly change plans with just one setback.

Rodriguez is someone the team likes but hasn't fully tested. If he's not ready for the majors by April, the Yankees might have only five reliable pitchers, which isn't enough to cover six months while waiting for their stars to recover.

That's why New York brought back Yarbrough; he is a useful addition, but just part of the solution. The Yankees are reportedly interested in Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai, showing they need someone to join the rotation without hesitation.

If not Imai, they need someone similar. A minor-league deal won't solve the problem with Cole, Rodon, and Schmidt's staggered returns and the need to cover many innings before summer.

The Yankees have talent but need reliability. To address this, they should act like a team that knows its opportunity is now and its pitching staff needs help. The issue is clear, and it’s up to the Yankees to decide how seriously they want to fix it.
