The flare-up of what might be some ire between former Boston Celtics teammates Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum has taken on a little more life in recent days as the first regular season game between Boston and the team they dealt Brown to this summer, the Philadelphia 76ers, draws near. Brown and Tatum will play one another as adversaries in the NBA for the first time on Tuesday (Nov. 10) night.
And the former seemed to echo a prior reluctance to speak on the supposed beef that came from Tatum earlier this week when asked about whether he might speak with his former Celtics teammate when making the trip back to Boston. "There's nothing to talk about," said Brown. "He's on his side. I'm on my side. We're playing basketball, both of us are trying
to win. So it's nothing to talk about. Just check the ball up."
Brown also shared he holds no enmity toward a city he came to call home. "I love Boston," he said. "Boston's a great city. A lot of people I developed relationship with ... but I'm just focused on what's in front of me right now, and that's the most important thing."
"Decisions were made. It's life, it's business," added Brown, commenting on the human side of his trade to the Sixers. "Move on. It's okay. You know what goes into it. It's emotions. You've got to pack up and move your stuff, your family."
"You've got to pack up and move. But it's life. It's happened to numerous amount of people, myself included. So I just look forward to just being able to build with my team over here, try to make the best of my situation."
