After weeks of questions about their strained relationship, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finally get to settle matters on the basketball court.

Once dynamic co-stars in green, Tatum and Brown were set to face off for the first time Tuesday night when the Boston Celtics visit the Philadelphia 76ers.

In nine seasons as teammates, Tatum and Brown led Boston to two NBA Finals appearances, including the Celtics’ championship run in 2024. Their partnership produced five Eastern Conference finals appearances, even as questions about their relationship persisted throughout their time together.
