The 76ers couldn't resist having a little fun with the ongoing Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown drama before Tuesday's showdown against the Celtics.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics face off on Tuesday night in their first regular-season matchup since Jaylen Brown was traded to Philadelphia. The game features heightened tension due to an ongoing rift between Brown and his former teammate Jayson Tatum, underscored by the song "Why Can't We Be Friends?" being played during shootaround ahead of the game.
Brown was traded to the 76ers in July in exchange for Paul George and draft picks, ending a nine-year partnership with Tatum in Boston. Both players have addressed the narrative, with Brown stating he does not plan to speak with Tatum, while Tatum publicly downplayed the personal rivalry.
