Philadelphia — Jaylen Brown said he is both “excited and disappointed” after being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to the team’s announcement on Monday.
The guard, who had spent his entire NBA career with the Boston Celtics, acknowledged the emotional impact of leaving Boston while also welcoming the fresh start in Philadelphia. Specific details of the transaction were not released at the time of the announcement.
The 27-year-old averaged 23.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season, helping Boston reach the Eastern Conference finals. He now joins a 76ers roster led by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey as Philadelphia looks to strengthen its position in the Eastern Conference.
Brown thanked Celtics fans for their support throughout his seven seasons in Boston and said he looks forward to contributing immediately in Philadelphia.
