Jaylen Brown traded to 76ers after Celtics' playoff exit

Jaylen Brown has been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in a surprising move, following his performances during the playoffs. The Boston Celtics parted ways with Brown, who averaged 25.7 points in the first round against the 76ers and carried significant leadership responsibilities, especially with teammate Jayson Tatum sidelined. One NBA analyst suggests that the Celtics' first-round collapse influenced the decision, prompting the franchise to trade Brown shortly after their postseason loss. Brown had a notable tenure with the Celtics, securing the NBA Finals MVP award in 2024, but is now committed to his new role with the 76ers.
