Jaylen Brown: There is nothing to talk about with Tatum

Jaylen Brown spoke ahead of his first game against his former teammate Jayson Tatum since being traded from Boston to Philadelphia in the summer. Brown said he has neither talked to Tatum nor crossed paths with him since the trade.

Brown said: "There is nothing to talk about. He's on his side, I'm on mine. We're playing basketball, and we both want to win. We're getting the ball into play."

The pair played nine seasons together with Boston and won the NBA championship in 2024. In the summer, Boston sent Brown to the Sixers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks.

The two teams will meet on Tuesday. Philadelphia, with 9 wins and 2 losses, and Boston, with 7 wins and 2 losses, are sitting in the top two spots in the Eastern Conference.
