Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum has downplayed the significance of a recent meeting with teammate Jaylen Brown, according to a report from Celtics Wire. The discussion comes amid ongoing speculation surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers, though details of the conversation remain private.
Tatum, a multiple-time All-Star and NBA Finals MVP, addressed the meeting in comments reported by Daniel Donabedian on Monday. The Celtics' core duo has been the subject of trade rumors and roster speculation throughout the offseason, with Philadelphia frequently mentioned in league circles.
Both Tatum and Brown are under contract with Boston, and the franchise has consistently signaled its intention to build around the pair. The Celtics enter the 2026-27 season as championship contenders after a deep playoff run last year.
