The Celtics are preparing for a Tuesday matchup against former teammate Jaylen Brown, their first meeting with him as an opponent since his trade, according to MassLive.
The game brings Boston face to face with a familiar player in a different role. Brown, previously part of the Celtics alongside Jayson Tatum, will now be on the other side of the matchup.
MassLive’s Nov. 9 Celtics notebook previewed the encounter as one likely to draw attention across the NBA. Its headline also identified Tatum’s perspective on playing against Brown as a subject of the report.
The supplied summary does not include Tatum’s comments or identify Brown’s new team. It also provides no details about the trade’s terms, the game’s location or its tipoff time.
What’s next: Boston’s scheduled meeting with Brown is Tuesday, marking the first opportunity for the Celtics to compete against their former teammate after the deal.
