Jaylen Brown's emotional reunion with Jayson Tatum couldn't have gone much worse. And his struggles against Boston may be a sign of a much bigger problem in Philadelphia.
Jaylen Brown appeared to snub former teammate Jayson Tatum before tipoff on Tuesday night, and his struggles continued as the Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 123-101 in Philadelphia. Facing his former team for the first time since being traded over the summer, Brown reportedly avoided Tatum during pregame warmups and brushed off a greeting before the game.
On the court, Brown dealt with early foul trouble and was limited to 13 points. Tatum scored 21 points, while Paul George led Boston with 36 points and six 3-pointers against his former team to secure the blowout victory.
