Celtics Notes: Brown, Tatum, George, Conley
According to ESPN insider Sham Charania, former Celtics teammates Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum last spoke to each other in late June at a dinner in France, ESPN Kris Rhim relays (Twitter link). The conversation took place after Boston’s bid to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from Milwaukee fell apart.
Brown was the primary piece in the Celtics’ offer and Brown wanted to find out how much Tatum was aware of the trade talks. Charania added that the off-court relationship between the duo changed after the 2024 Finals, when Brown was named the MVP.
Brown wound up getting dealt to the Sixers a short time later. The two teams face each other for the first time this regular season tonight.
