Jaylen Brown admitted that he isn’t fully up to date on the details in the illegal gambling scandal that led to the arrests of three NBA figures, but he isn’t a fan of the betting culture that’s made its way into sports.

The Celtics star called for more player support from the NBA on sports gambling, believing players have been made vulnerable to social media attacks due to wagers placed on them.

“That whole world was introduced a couple years ago, and I don’t think they took players into consideration – especially with the energy, the behavior that goes around gambling and how that directly correlates with players,” Brown told reporters on Friday.
