76ers’ Jaylen Brown treating Celtics showdown like it’s ‘war’
Philadelphia 76ers star Jaylen Brown entered Tuesday’s matchup against the Boston Celtics facing his former team for the first time since his offseason trade.
The game reunited Brown with longtime teammate Jayson Tatum after the pair spent nine seasons together in Boston. They reached two NBA Finals and won the 2024 championship before the Celtics traded Brown to Philadelphia in July.
The Sixers entered the matchup 9-2 and atop the Eastern Conference, while Boston arrived at 8-2, adding early-season significance to Brown’s first game against the franchise that drafted him No. 3 overall in 2016.
