Jaylen Brown, whose long run with the Boston Celtics ends earlier this offseason with a trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, says he has not really been in contact with his former teammate, Jayson Tatum. In recent comments, Brown was asked whether he has spoken to Tatum since the trade. Brown responded that they have “not really” talked since the move.
The two players previously shared the court as Celtics teammates for about nine years. With Brown now on a new team in Philadelphia, the question of how the Celtics stars are adjusting to the change has included whether they maintain regular communication. Across the reports, the key point is Brown’s description of the post-trade relationship—he indicates that contact has been limited. The reports do not provide additional detail on how frequently, if at all, Brown and Tatum communicate beyond his “not really” characterization.
