Jaylen Brown Gets Honest About Expectations for First 76ers Season

Weeks after being traded by the Celtics, Jaylen Brown spoke about his expectations for his first season on the 76ers.

Jaylen Brown, the 2024 NBA Finals MVP, discussed his expectations for his first season with the Philadelphia 76ers on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The 76ers, boasting a talented roster of All-Stars Brown, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey, aim to deliver wins, a playoff appearance, and a championship. Brown admitted that the journey to success is not easy, requiring consistent effort and dedication every day.

He mentioned that while the team has not fully assembled yet, they have met in smaller groups, such as a golf event at Tyrese Maxey's foundation. Brown also revealed that his new teammate LeBron James, who previously lived in Los Angeles, joined the 76ers in a two-year deal. Brown expressed disappointment with his trade from the Boston Celtics, but left open the possibility of feeling it was a good trade for his former team.

The 76ers host the Celtics on Thursday, Nov. 10, while Brown's first regular-season return game to Boston will be on Jan. 21.
