Jaylen Brown was asked if people saying he and Jayson Tatum should be broken up changed their relationship: “I feel the same way about JT as I always have. I feel, when people said we don’t like each other, they just made that up. I guess, maybe it has enhanced our relationship.” – 4:21 PM

Jaylen Brown on his ability to play in Toronto: “Last year I missed the playoffs. This year, from a competitive standpoint, I’m excited and ready to play against anybody. As a VP of the Players Association, it’s part of my job to respect privacy. You won’t hear me comment.” – 4:15 PM

Bonus Alert 🚨🚨🚨
Boston has now won 49 games and Jaylen Brown is halfway to a $482,143 bonus.
If the Celtics reach the second round of the playoffs, Brown will meet the criteria.
The incentive was deemed unlikely before the start of the season. – 4:13 PM

More on this storyline
Keith Smith: Brad Stevens asked by @Toucherandrich if every player on the Celtics is eligible to play in Canada: “I know where this is going. We’ve said from Day 1 that we will not comment on vaccination status.” Stevens said: “I know that’s not the exact answer you are asking for.” -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / April 1, 2022
When asked directly within the past 24 hours if their teams are fully vaccinated, both the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers declined to comment to ESPN — opening the possibility that both teams could potentially be missing players in road games of a first-round playoff series against the Toronto Raptors. Entering play Wednesday, the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Celtics and 76ers are within one loss of each other at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, meaning they could wind up in any order between now and the end of the regular season on April 10. -via ESPN / March 30, 2022
Sources told ESPN that Williams is vaccinated, while Tatum said back on Celtics media day that he was vaccinated, but that no one should be judged for choosing not to be. -via ESPN / March 30, 2022
