Jaylen Brown Ignores Jayson Tatum and Celtics During Preseason Return

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jaylen Brown returned to Boston for a preseason matchup, visibly ignoring former teammate Jayson Tatum during warmups following his offseason trade. Brown spent most of the 144-106 loss to the Celtics in the locker room rather than sitting courtside. Last season, Brown averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists, keeping Boston at the top of the East while Tatum recovered from an Achilles injury before their playoff collapse against Philadelphia.
