Marcus Smart blames media for ongoing Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown drama
The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers are set to face off in a high-stakes matchup that has the attention of the NBA world. The Tuesday night game, broadcast on NBC during their Coast to Coast coverage, will be the first time that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown face off against each other since the July trade.
Houston Rockets guard Marcus Smart, who played alongside both Brown and Tatum in Boston, told The Athletic it’s “tough to see” them at odds, and he vouched for how hard both worked.
“Going to war with those guys, I know the work that they put in, both of them.”
He said he places much of the blame for their rift on the media.
