The Story in 60 Seconds

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jaylen Brown addressed his relationship with former Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum on Saturday night following Philadelphia's 127-116 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. While denying any major dispute, Brown stated there is "no beef, but there might be a little lamb chops" between them. His comments followed Tatum's recent remarks about Brown's departure from Boston, which Brown had publicly contested online before Tatum expressed a desire to speak in person.

The former teammates won an NBA championship and reached two NBA Finals together before Brown was traded to Philadelphia. Brown, who turned 30 on Saturday and scored 27 points against Milwaukee, expressed frustration with how his Boston exit was handled after the team attempted to include him in trade packages. Brown and Tatum are scheduled to face each other on the court when the 76ers host the Celtics on November 10.
