Brown says ‘nothing to talk about’ with Tatum ahead of 76ers-Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers forward Jaylen Brown stated he has no interest in repairing his relationship with former Boston Celtics co-star Jayson Tatum ahead of their Tuesday matchup. Speaking after the Sixers' 127-121 win against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, Brown confirmed he has not spoken to Tatum since being traded during the offseason and does not plan to speak to him before or during the game.

Brown and Tatum spent nine seasons together in Boston, leading the franchise to an NBA championship in 2024 before Brown was traded for Paul George and multiple draft picks. Despite Tatum previously downplaying any tension, Brown publicly mocked Tatum's reactions on social media, setting up a competitive reunion with Philadelphia at 9-2 and Boston at 7-2.
