When asked by The Ringer last month how long he plans to play with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown said he didn’t want to answer the question because of how Celtics fans might react.
They might go crazy with speculation, he said. Plus, he wants to see how things play out over the duration of his contract which is set to expire next summer.
On Tuesday, Brown opened up about his relationship with Tatum in an interview with Stadium’s Shams Charania. He said that seeing each other grow has helped him and Tatum build on a foundation of respect.
