Jaylen Brown wasn't exactly the friendliest with his former teammate, Jayson Tatum, despite the fact that Tatum tried to dap him up before their teams played on Tuesday night.
And after Tatum and the Boston Celtics bested Brown's Philadelphia 76ers 123-101, Brown explained what his mindset there was before tip-off.
"I’m just focused on coming out and doing what’s best for my team," he told reporters after the loss. "Everything else is just... to be honest, I wasn't paying attention but credit to Jayson, he played well tonight."
These two teams will meet again this year, so we'll see if this coldness continues.
Whew. There is definitely something going on here, right?
Why do Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have apparent beef?
There's no full explanation for that. Seems like the Brown and Celtics divorce was
acrimonious, but we're waiting to see why. Tatum said weeks ago that there was no beef between the two ex-teammates, while Brown, said there was "nothing" for them to talk about.
