Philadelphia 76ers forward Jaylen Brown stated he has no intention of speaking to former teammate Jayson Tatum before their upcoming matchup. Brown, traded from the Celtics in the offseason, emphasized there is 'nothing to talk about' as they prepare to face off for the first time. The two played nine seasons together in Boston, winning the 2024 NBA Championship.
Despite their past success, the trade for Paul George and subsequent social media exchanges have cooled their relationship. Brown posted a blue hat emoji, implying Tatum lied about being caught off guard by the trade. Tatum responded by saying he understands the drama but wants to focus on praise rather than conflict.
Brown previously mentioned 'lamb chops and gravy' and criticized Tatum's PR team. The Sixers and Celtics, both top teams in the East, will meet Tuesday night.
