Celtics' Jaylen Brown to talk advocacy, social issues at Harvard

BOSTON -- Boston Celtics second-year swingman Jaylen Brown, never bashful about sharing his opinions about issues beyond basketball, will speak at Harvard University on Thursday night as part of a speaker series for the university's Graduate School of Education.

"To be honest, I'm overwhelmed. I've been preparing mentally for it so I'm looking forward to it," Brown said Wednesday after scoring 15 points in Boston's 134-106 triumph over the Charlotte Hornets at TD Garden.

"I don't know necessarily what to expect in terms of what the crowd will be or the expectations, but I've got some interesting ideas and I can't wait to share them.
