Just a year removed from winning the 18th NBA championship in franchise history, the Boston Celtics are facing quite the uphill battle. Jayson Tatum<\/a>‘s torn Achilles will keep him on the sidelines for the foreseeable future. Fellow leaders Jrue Holiday<\/a> and Al Horford<\/a> are expected to open next season with the Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors, respectively. Sure, they aren’t looking at 2025-26 as a lost cause<\/a>, but they’re not in the most enviable position.<\/p>\n

Perhaps cognizant of this, Celtics wing Jaylen Brown<\/a> is seemingly open to playing for another franchise in the future.<\/p>\n

Celtics’ Jaylen Brown Leaves Door Open To Playing For Hawks<\/h2>\n

Following Big Tigger Morning Show<\/em> host Big Tigger’s question about if there’s any chance Brown could eventually be in a “hometown uniform,” the Marietta native tells him: “You never know.” As Big Tigger admits that it’s a sight that he would like to see, Brown follows up with: “Nah, I feel you. Nah, I think my grandma would too.”<\/p>\n
