It wasn't a tumor, they're saying now.

According to Brown, the 2024 diagnosis of a benign bone growth (osteoma) in his neck turned out not to be a correct one. So, the task is now to figure out what’s actually causing the recurring neck issue and to fix any of the mechanics that may be causing it.

“There’s a stress on my bone, something in my throw or in my mechanics that’s leading to that,” Brown said. “It’s not a freak injury anymore. There’s something that I’m doing that’s causing it. I’m working night and day to get to the bottom of it. And the people here are, too. As far as career outlook goes, there’s almost like a positivity around that, like: ‘Hey, we might be able to figure this out.’”
