Boston, Mass. — Swingman Jaylen Brown said he “wasn’t thrilled” with what he viewed as a lack of respect from the Boston Celtics prior to being dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to a report published Friday.
The three-time All-Star’s comments emerged on July 3, 2026, shortly after Boston finalized the unexpected trade that sent him to Philadelphia. Brown, 29, indicated the relationship with the Celtics had soured, citing what he described as insufficient appreciation from the organization.
Details of the trade were not disclosed in the report, but the move stunned NBA observers given Brown’s central role in Boston’s recent postseason runs. The Georgia native was drafted third overall by the Celtics in 2016 and spent nine seasons with the franchise before the deal.
