One of sports’ rarest occurrences took place Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center: a gesture of goodwill between Boston and Philadelphia.
Shortly after putting up 18 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in the Celtics‘ 110–107 win over the 76ers in a possible Eastern Conference Finals preview, Boston forward Jayson Tatum gifted his familiar No. 0 jersey to Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
The four-time All-Star sought out the 2020 Heisman Trophy winner courtside postgame, hugged him and signed the jersey for a beaming Smith.
