Jaylen Brown is excited to show the Philadelphia 76ers what he can do in the 2026-27 NBA season. Brown is one of the 76ers’ new stars after they traded for him from the Boston Celtics this summer. The five-time All-Star wants to prove he can lead a title-contending team.
Brown had his best performance last season with the Celtics. The star forward averaged 28.7 points , 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists on 47.7% shooting. Because of Jayson Tatum’s prolonged recuperation from a torn Achilles tendon, he was the team’s primary option for most of the season.
Brown led the Celtics to the second seed in the East with a 56-26 record. However, the team was eliminated by the 76ers in the first round, and that was it for the NBA star.
