Recently, Jaylen Brown was asked about <a href="https://www.hoopshype.com/story/sports/nba/rumors/2025/09/11/given-his-hometown-ties-to-georgia-radio-host-darian/86088531007/" rel="noopener">playing for his hometown team</a>, the Atlanta Hawks.</p><p>“I would love to see you play for the hometown,” radio personality Big Tigger said to Brown on V-103.</p><p>“I feel you. I think my grandma would too,” Brown said.</p><p>Brown noted that his grandmother had talked to him about potentially playing for the Hawks in the future.</p><p>“Yeah, but you never know. We’ll see,” Brown said.</p><p>It may be fun to see Brown play for the Hawks one day, but he is still in the middle of a big contract with the Boston Celtics, and it’s hard to see a team trading for a number that large. At the same time, he doesn’t have to particularly play for the Hawks while he’s in his prime, it could be when he’s set to get another contract.</p><p>Regardless, Brown is probably not worried about playing for any other team right now than the Celtics, and he’ll be the leader on the team this season with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-jayson-tatum-encouraging-update-tedious-achilles-injury-rehab">Jayson Tatum still recovering from his Achilles injury</a>.</p><h2><b>Jaylen Brown will have to lead Celtics this season</b></h2><p>After Tatum went down with the Achilles injury, the future of the Celtics was put in the spotlight, and they made some big moves throughout the offseason. The traded Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, two key players that they had brought in to help them win the championship two seasons ago. Those moves were made for financial reasons and to avoid the second apron.</p><p>Now, with Tatum possibly out for the entire upcoming season, it will be up to Brown and Derrick White to lead the the Celtics. They were able to acquire Anfernee Simons in the Holiday trade, but it still seems like they’re open to moving him again. If he stays with the Celtics, Simons could be another key scorer for the team.</p><p>This won’t be the same dominant team that they’ve been for the past few years, and it will be interesting to see where they stack up in the Eastern Conference with what they currently have.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The case remains unresolved, with another hearing set for next week.</p><h2><b>Carrying Boston into a New Era</b></h2><p>While the courtroom drama unfolds, Jaylen Brown has his own spotlight to navigate. With Jayson Tatum sidelined following an Achilles injury in the playoffs, the reigning Finals MVP will be asked to shoulder a role he’s never fully embraced: the undisputed leader of the Celtics.</p><p>Brown’s offensive gifts are undeniable. He thrives attacking the rim, punishes defenders in the mid-range, and uses his size to lock down top perimeter scorers. Still, skeptics question whether his handle, passing instincts, and off-ball defense can withstand the constant attention he’ll now face as Boston’s focal point.</p><p>For Brown, the 2025-26 season could be career-defining. He has the chance to move from co-star to franchise cornerstone, proving he can keep the Celtics in championship contention even without Tatum by his side. His father’s trial may linger in the headlines, but Jaylen Brown seems determined to let his play tell the story this year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jayson Tatum has also done his fair share of traveling, albeit <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/celtics-news-jayson-tatum-encouraging-update-tedious-achilles-injury-rehab">while rehabbing from a serious Achilles injury</a> for the first time in his career.</p><p>One of Tatum’s most recent trips brought him to California, where he attended the wedding of three-time All-Star Bradley Beal. The two hail from St. Louis and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/phoenix-suns/suns-news-bradley-beal-heartwarming-admission-on-jayson-tatum-relationship">have been friends since childhood</a> with Beal serving as somewhat of a mentor to Tatum.</p><p>Prior to the marriage ceremony, Tatum was spotted on Saturday sporting a new look in a photo with fellow NBA groomsmen Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Garrett Temple:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Looks like Jayson Tatum was a groomsman at Bradley Beal’s wedding💍</p><p>Ironically, so was Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who committed a hard foul or two on Tatum in the 2025 playoffs.</p><p>(Via @ tkthadon on IG) <a href="https://t.co/9SXakiULtv">pic.twitter.com/9SXakiULtv</a></p><p>— Daniel Donabedian (@danield1214) <a href="https://twitter.com/danield1214/status/1959657735181463979?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 24, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Celtics fans were quick to point out Tatum’s new hairstyle, and Brown was asked about it during one of his first livestreams ever on Sunday afternoon.</p><p>“They’re saying JT got braids,” Brown said with a smile while reading his Twitch chat. “Nah, that’s crazy…That’s insane.

It won’t be a normal trip to “The A” for Boston as Tatum will be sidelined and Brown will serve as the primary scoring option for the Green Team.</p><p>And for the first time in years, the Hawks will enter a season with better prospects than the Celtics. They had a productive offseason, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/boston-celtics/kristaps-porzingis-trade-grade-hawks-celtics-deal">trading for ex-Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis</a> and landing two-way guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker in free agency.</p><p>Conversely, Boston’s offseason was prolific as well, yet there was more subtraction than addition. To shed salary, the C’s dealt Porzingis and former starting guard Jrue Holiday. Plus, they let backup center Luke Kornet walk and may have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-al-horford-fit-reaction">the same happen with veteran big man Al Horford</a>.</p><p>No matter where Horford ends up, the 2025-26 regular season will be a new experience for the Jays. Tatum has never missed a significant stretch of games in the NBA, and Brown has never been the sole go-to guy on the Celtics. That’ll all change quickly when the C’s kick off a season filled with novelty (and uncertainty) on Oct. 22 against the rival Philadelphia 76ers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
