Celtics broadcaster walks back report that Jaylen Brown ‘demanded to be traded’
Brown’s representatives called the report a lie as Brian Scalabrine later walked back his claim that the former Celtics star sought a trade.
- On Monday, October 26, NBC Sports Boston analyst Brian Scalabrine claimed Jaylen Brown demanded a trade from the Boston Celtics with an ultimatum, but Brown's camp subsequently denied the allegations as "10,000% a lie."
- The Boston Celtics traded Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in July for Paul George, ending a 10-year partnership between Brown and Jayson Tatum that culminated in a 2024 championship victory.
- While Tatum insisted there is "no beef," Brown responded that Tatum has a "hell of a PR team" and there "might be a little lamb chops and some gravy" between them.
- Scalabrine walked back his comments on Monday, admitting Brown did not "technically demand to be traded" but described the situation as an "ultimatum" regarding conditions or consequences.
- All eyes turn to the first meeting between the Philadelphia 76ers and Celtics set for November 10 in Philadelphia, where former teammates will face each other on court.
