Brad Stevens says rumors Celtics players resent Tristan Thompson are ‘not real’

As the NBA trade deadline approaches, rumors about the Celtics have been amplified enormously.

One rumor that gained some steam on Tuesday was a report from Chris Vernon and Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer’s The Mismatch podcast. Vernon said the Celtics have grown to resent Thompson, who is out due to health and safety protocols once again, and O’Connor said he has “also heard that Thompson is not loved in that locker room for numerous different reasons.”

On Tuesday, however, both Jaylen Brown and Kemba Walker took to Twitter to push back.
