Jaylen Brown Gets Honest On Snubbing Jayson Tatum After 76ers-Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jaylen Brown addressed his pregame snub of former Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum following a 123-101 loss to Boston on November 10. Prior to tipoff, Tatum approached Brown and put an arm around him, but Brown kept a straight face and did not react. Brown explained postgame that he was solely focused on doing what was best for his team and was not paying attention to anything else.

Despite the cold interaction before the game, Brown credited Tatum and the Celtics for executing and being the better team. Tatum recorded 21 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 32 minutes for the Celtics, while Brown posted 13 points and five rebounds in 26 minutes for the 76ers.
