Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown ignore each other in awkward Celtics-76ers pregame scene

During an exhibition matchup between eastern conference rivals, former teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown conspicuously avoided each other during pregame warmups following a high-profile summer trade. Brown, playing for his new squad after carrying the Boston attack last term while his co-star recovered from an Achilles procedure, spent significant stretches of the contest away from the bench before his team suffered a heavy 144-106 defeat.

While the visiting roster rested stars Joel Embiid and LeBron James, Tatum produced twenty-three points, five boards, and four helpers on the home floor. The official regular-season reunion at this arena is scheduled for January, preceded by an initial clash in Philadelphia during mid-November.
