Jayson Tatum Shines as Celtics Rout 76ers Amid Awkward Jaylen Brown Return

Jayson Tatum posted 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in Boston's 144-106 preseason win over Philadelphia. Tatum expressed awe at playing alongside idol Paul George, calling it surreal after modeling his game after him. Meanwhile, tension highlighted the night as Tatum and former teammate Jaylen Brown completely ignored each other during warmups following Brown's blockbuster offseason trade to the 76ers, where Brown spent most of the game in the locker room.
