Jaylen Brown Reaffirms Loyalty to Celtics After McGrady Claim

Stevens reports a positive recent talk with Brown.

Overview

  • On Wednesday night, Brown told viewers on his Twitch stream that he loves Boston and could see himself playing there for the next 10 years.
  • Hours earlier Wednesday, Celtics president Brad Stevens said Brown had not shared any frustrations with him and called their recent conversation nothing but positive.
  • The back-and-forth followed Tracy McGrady’s podcast comments Tuesday that he was hearing Brown was deeply frustrated with the organization, which fueled offseason chatter about Brown’s future.
  • The NBA fined Brown $50,000 for publicly criticizing officiating after Boston’s Game 7 loss to Philadelphia, where he said officials had an agenda and accused Joel Embiid of flopping.
  • Brown is eligible for a two-year extension in July, so his public commitment signals stability as Boston maps out offseason decisions after a first-round exit.
