Jaylen Brown’s recent comments in a pair of different profile pieces have many wondering if he’ll remain with the Celtics when his contract expires following the 2023-24 season.
Brown specifically told The Ringer’s Logan Murdock that his future in Boston “is not up to me,” adding that: “We’ll see how they feel about me over time and I feel about them over time. Hopefully, whatever it is, it makes sense. But I will stay where I’m wanted. I will stay where I’m needed and treated correct.”
Celtics legend Paul Pierce believes that Brown’s comments could be him signaling he might want a larger role that he wouldn’t be able to obtain in Boston, citing a pair of other star players from his playing days that did the same thing.
