Providence New Bedford, RI, November 9, 2026 — The upcoming NBA contest between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers is drawing significant attention, not just for the on-court rivalry, but for the reported personal dynamic between two former teammates. Jaylen Brown, who was traded from the Celtics to the 76ers in July, has reportedly not communicated with his former Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum since the trade.

The details surrounding the alleged lack of communication were not provided in the report. Brown and Tatum played together on the Boston Celtics for several seasons, forming a prominent duo for the team. Their shared history and success together made their partnership a focal point of the Celtics’ identity during their tenure.
The upcoming game marks the first time the two players will face each other as opponents following Brown’s move to Philadelphia. The matchup is scheduled for when the Celtics visit the 76ers, though the specific date for this game was not included in the available information.

The basketball world will be closely observing their interactions, or lack thereof, on the court and in any pre- or post-game settings. While the report indicates a lack of speaking, the reasons behind this alleged silence were not elaborated upon. Both players are key figures on their respective teams, and their performance in this particular game is expected to be under a microscope, amplified by the personal narrative surrounding their relationship.
Further details regarding the timeline of their last communication or any official statements from either player or their representatives were not made available.
