Less than three days after parting ways with Ye’s agency Donda Sports, Jaylen Brown has expressed an interest in supporting the basketball team at Los Angeles-area prep school Donda Academy.
The Celtics star announced his pledge to sponsor events “willing to host” the program after learning Donda Academy had been barred from competing in several upcoming tournaments amid the ongoing fallout stemming from antisemitic remarks made by the school’s founder Ye—the rapper and songwriter formerly known as Kanye West—in recent weeks. Donda Academy also reportedly abruptly shut down on Wednesday before announcing it would remain open for the rest of the school year a few hours later.
