Jaylen Brown Shuts Down Rumors of Rift With Teammate

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has broken his silence, firmly denying reports of tension with a teammate over off-court matters.

Speaking to reporters after Friday’s practice, Brown made his stance clear:

“That’s not true. We work together, we play together, and we’ve got each other’s backs every single day. Our focus is on one thing — winning.”

Speculation about a locker room rift surfaced earlier this week, with some sources suggesting personal disagreements between Brown and another Celtics player. But the All-Star guard stressed that team unity is stronger than ever, saying the group is “locked in and ready for the season ahead.”

With this statement, Brown aims to put the rumors to rest and shift the spotlight back to the court — where the Celtics are chasing another championship run.
