Celtics announcer Brian Scalabrine takes a pointed shot at Jaylen Brown while praising Jayson Tatum.
In the latest twist of the ongoing Boston Celtics drama involving Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, broadcast announcer Brian Scalabrine took a direct shot at Brown's recent struggles. Praising Tatum's ability to keep the basketball, Scalabrine pointed out Tatum's zero turnovers for Boston's recent game. "If I were to do PR work for Jayson Tatum, I would just remind everyone who led the league in turnovers last year," said Scalabrine, referencing Brown's 259 turnovers during the 2025-26 regular season.
Despite the tension, Brown downplayed any feud, noting Tatum's strong PR team. Tatum himself has indicated he wants to move past the situation, stating he won't be making any more comments. Scheduled for November 10, their first matchup as opponents will be an opportunity for their former basketball chemistry to take center stage.
