Brown posted 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 106-100 victory over the Knicks.
Brown was highly effective in his long-awaited 76ers debut, scoring an efficient 19 points to go with a full stat line. The star forward benefitted significantly from Jayson Tatum missing most of last season with an Achilles injury -- Brown averaged a career-high 28.7 points and 5.1 assists per game for Boston in 2025-26 -- and Brown should still be an upper-echelon fantasy producer with a loaded Philadelphia squad even if he's unlikely to replicate last year's success.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Scores 20 points in OT loss
Rotowire
Brown recorded 20 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, a steal and two blocks across 31 minutes in Friday's 125-120 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Brown delivered a productive performance despite Philadelphia's defeat, shooting efficiently from the field while contributing strong numbers in other categories. The forward struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just one of his five attempts, but remained effective attacking the basket. He finished third on the team in scoring behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey while adding defensive production. Brown's well-rounded contributions were encouraging, though his three-point shooting and free-throw efficiency remain areas to monitor heading into the regular season.

After scoring 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting during his 76ers preseason debut Monday, Brown turned in another productive performance on the offensive end. The star forward led all players in scoring and ranked second on the Sixers in free throws made while knocking down all of his attempts from the charity stripe. Through two preseason outings, he's totaled 40 points, four rebounds and four assists in 41 minutes.

He also turned in an efficient shooting performance and tied for the game-high mark in triples made.

Rotowire
Brown will make his 76ers debut in Monday's preseason game against the Knicks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Among others, LeBron James, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey will all sit out the Sixers' preseason opener, though Brown will suit up. The star forward was traded to Philadelphia on July 1 following a career year with Boston in 2025-26, during which he averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals across 34.4 minutes per game in 71 regular-season outings.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Learning new system in Philly
Rotowire
Brown stated Thursday that he's in the process of learning an entire new system in Philadelphia, Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Brown noted that he's been grateful for his teammate Tyrese Maxey during the install, as Maxey has reportedly been an excellent communicator and leader to start camp, per Austin Krell of OnPattison.com. The 29-year-old will have a few more weeks to get used to this new system before the 76ers open the 2026-27 season against the Knicks on Oct. 20.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Heading to Philadelphia
Rotowire
The Celtics traded Brown to the 76ers on Wednesday in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Following a career-best year in which he earned his fifth All-Star selection and finished sixth in MVP voting, Brown will join Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe on the Sixers. Brown averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.4 minutes per game across 71 regular-season outings in 2025-26, though he could see a dip in production in a loaded starting five. The star swingman has averaged at least 20.3 points and 1.0 steals per game in seven straight seasons and should operate as one of Philadelphia's top offensive options.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Drops 33 points in Game 7 loss
Rotowire
Brown contributed 33 points (12-27 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 40 minutes in Saturday's 109-100 loss to the 76ers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Brown bounced back and provided a well-rounded performance after struggling in Thursday's Game 6 loss, though his 33-point effort was not enough to prevent the Sixers from completing a 3-1 comeback. The star swingman led the Celtics in points and rebounds while tying the game high in blocks, but he didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance. With Jayson Tatum (knee) missing most of the regular season while recovering from a ruptured Achilles, Brown stepped up and impressed. He earned his fourth straight All-Star nod, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.4 minutes per contest across 71 regular-season games.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Tough night in loss

Brown chipped in 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), one rebound and two assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 106-93 loss to the 76ers in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Both Brown and Jayson Tatum had below-average nights by their standards, which resulted in Boston pulling its starters off the court early in the fourth quarter to rest up for Game 7. Brown was averaging 25.8 points through the first five games of the series entering Thursday's Game 6, and he'll have an opportunity to get back on track Saturday in Game 7.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Pours in 20 points in Game 4 win
Rotowire
Brown ended with 20 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-96 victory over the 76ers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Although Brown left most of the scoring to Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard, the wing was once again a solid contributor. He tied Tatum with a team-high seven rebounds, but the All-Star Brown left a few points on the floor with four missed free throws, an oddity considering his 75.9 percent free-throw percentage during the series.

Brown supplied 25 points (9-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 40 minutes in Friday's 108-100 Game 3 win over the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs.
The star swingman delivered an efficient all-around performance on the offensive end and tied Jayson Tatum for the team lead in points, with the pair helping the Celtics retake the series lead. Brown also tied the team-best mark in rebounds and the game high in blocks, tying his season high in swats across the regular season and playoffs. The 29-year-old and the Celtics will now prepare for Game 4 as the club aims to take a commanding 3-1 lead in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Brown contributed 36 points (11-24 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 9-12 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 Game 2 loss to the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs.
Brown erupted for a game-high 36 points and made an impact across the stat sheet in Game 2, albeit in a losing effort. The star forward also turned in another efficient outing from beyond the arc and is shooting 7-for-14 from downtown through the first two games of this series. Brown and the Celtics will now look to retake the series lead in Friday's Game 3 in Philadelphia.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Productive in Game 1 victory
Rotowire
Brown posted 26 points (11-21 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Boston's 123-91 win over Philadelphia in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Sunday.
It took a little while for Brown to get into the groove of things Sunday, but he exploded out of halftime with 16 points in the third quarter to help maintain the Celtics' comfortable lead. He finished as the game's leading scorer, which is notable given that he sat for the entire fourth quarter and attempted only two free throws. That extra rest at the end of Sunday's game should be beneficial for Brown and the rest of the Celtics' starters for Game 2 on Tuesday.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Full line in Game 1 win
Rotowire
Tatum logged 25 points (9-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 32 minutes during the Celtics' 123-91 victory over the 76ers in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Sunday.
Tatum steered the Celtics to a 15-point first-quarter lead and logged 10 points, seven rebounds, four assists and a steal while playing all 12 minutes of the frame. He led the Celtics in both rebounds and assists and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Jaylen Brown (26 points). Tatum has logged 10 double-doubles in 17 games since making his return from a torn Achilles on March 6. He may not be at the same level as he was before that serious injury, but his return has given Boston a huge boost on both ends of the floor as the team gears up for another playoff run.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Fades injury report
Rotowire
Brown (Achilles) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's Game 1 against the 76ers.
Brown sat out Boston's regular-season finale due to Achilles tendinitis but is good to go for the start of the playoffs. In five regular-season appearances during April, the star swingman averaged 30.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.8 minutes per game.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Brown (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
The Celtics have locked up the No. 2 seed in the East, so there's not much incentive for Brown to play through Achilles tendinitis in Boston's final game of the regular season. Jayson Tatum (Achilles), Derrick White (knee) and Payton Pritchard (foot) are expected to join Brown on the sidelines Sunday, so guys like Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and Dalano Banton should be slated for major minutes and prominent roles on offense.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Questionable Friday
Rotowire
Brown (Achilles) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown sat out Thursday's loss to the Knicks and is in danger of missing the second half of Boston's back-to-back as well. Jayson Tatum (rest) has already been ruled out, so if Brown joins him, Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez would be candidates for increased roles.
