Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum played a bunch of years together for the Boston Celtics, winning a title together. But then Brown got sent to the Philadelphia 76ers amid so many questions about his relationship with Tatum that haven't really been answered.
With all eyes on the Celtics and Sixers game on Tuesday night between Brown and Tatum, would we see a little love between the two former teammates? The answer is, it seems, no. As Tatum came over and Brown spun the ball on his finger, Tatum put his hand on Brown in an awkward dap. Brown didn't do... well, anything back.
Is that proof that Brown doesn't like Tatum? His way of saying that they're on different teams and it's time compete? Maybe we'll find out after the game.
