Jaylen Brown's return game to Boston won't happen on the opening week of the 2026-27 NBA season. One Celtics insider made a claim about the league's level of attention towards that storyline.
Brown represented the Celtics for 10 seasons, having been the longest-serving member as he helped the team win the ******* le in 2024. However, his stint came to an end after Boston sent him to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George and draft compensation.
Some may have anticipated the league to dedicate a game on opening week to having the Celtics face the 76ers. It would have seen Boston star Jayson Tatum take on Brown, his former co-star. Not to mention LeBron James being on the 76ers as well.
However, that game will take place on a later date. And according to Celtics inside John Karalis, he claimed the league didn't place a lot of focus on the return game for Brown.
"The league does not care about the "Jaylen Brown returns to Boston" storyline at all," Karalis wrote on social media.
