Jaylen Brown reacts to another ex-Celtic joining Sixers
Former Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown may have worked some recruiting magic to get Tacko Fall, another former Celtic, to the Philadelphia 76ers.
NBA friendships often transcend star power and the bench. Former Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown and ex-bench warmer Tacko Fall, known for his 7-foot-6 height, formed a close bond during their two-year stint together in Boston. Despite sharing the court sparingly, their off-court friendship led to Brown becoming Fall's godfather and the pair bonding over shared experiences like a visit to Morocco.
Brown recently shared photos from Morocco, where he spent time with Fall, sparking speculation about their enduring friendship. But just weeks after celebrating their friendship, Brown was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in a surprising blockbuster deal. Shortly after his move, Fall signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Sixers, aiming to earn a more permanent role.
Brown expressed his happiness for his former teammate's new opportunity, congratulating him on his Sixers camp deal on social media. The inclusion of three former Celtics on the Sixers roster, including Brown, Fall, and Anfernee Simons, could lead to a future Celtics reunion in the preseason matchup against the Green Team on October 10.
