Jaylen Brown says he has no beef with former Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jaylen Brown says he has no "beef" with former Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum, despite their recent trade to different teams and the emergence of tension. Brown told reporters after the Sixers' win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday that there is "no beef" between them. However, their relationship seemed strained after Brown's trade to Philadelphia, as Tatum took to his YouTube channel to express his surprise at the move.

In response, Brown posted an Instagram picture with a baseball cap emoji, a slang term for something that's not true. Tatum later admitted that the main issue was the focus on the drama rather than the accomplishments they shared as teammates, including winning a championship together. Brown expressed his willingness to cooperate, stating that Tatum comes from a wonderful family and is a great basketball player.

The two players have previously praised each other's contributions during their nine-year tenure together. Though tensions seem to be easing, Brown indicated that he has no plans to speak with Tatum before their upcoming game on November 10. Both players have previously spoken fondly about their time together, but the trade has created a new dynamic.

Sixers have started the season with three wins, including victories over the Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers.
