Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown exchanged greetings with several former teammates following Philadelphia's blowout victory over the Celtics, but notably did not acknowledge fellow All-Star Jayson Tatum, according to a report from Fadeaway World.
The incident occurred after the 76ers handed Boston a lopsided defeat on November 11, 2026. Brown, who has played alongside Tatum since both were drafted by the Celtics in 2016 and 2017 respectively, appeared to embrace or dap up multiple ex-Celtics players on the Philadelphia roster or staff while bypassing his longtime backcourt partner.
The Celtics duo has formed one of the NBA's most prominent young tandems, reaching the NBA Finals together in 2022 and winning the championship in 2024. Any perceived tension between the two franchise cornerstones draws immediate scrutiny given their central role in Boston's title aspirations.
Neither player nor the Celtics organization has publicly commented on the reported interaction. The 76ers' victory marked a significant result in the early Eastern Conference standings.
