Jaylen Brown played 31 minutes, but he might not have recognized many of the guys wearing green, as the likes of Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Sam Hauser, Neemias Queta, and Payton Pritchard were nowhere to be found on Friday night in Philly.
Still, Brown played the Celtics twice this preseason, so he was asked if that helps “get some of the Boston stuff out of the way.”
“I played there for 10 years, so it’ll never be out of the way. You know what I mean?” Brown said with a smile. “But it was good to see some of the young guys. I spent a lot of time with those guys, to see them develop and get better, it’s good to see.”
