Jaylen Brown‘s future with the Boston Celtics seems to be in a little bit of doubt, considering that the team has still not agreed on a contract extension with him.
Some players would be focused solely on the negotiations considering what is at stake, but Jaylen Brown has continued to work within the Boston community instead. Kevin Garnett shouted him out recently after he redesigned a community basketball court.
“Shoutout to JB. Love this, lil bro,” Garnett wrote on Twitter in reaction to a video of Brown’s wholesome speech while the court was inaugurated.

“This is one small example of what’s going on in these spaces in Boston. But as long as I’m here, these things will continue,” Jaylen Brown told the people gathered at the opening of the new court. This message is a bit bittersweet for Celtics fans because while the idea behind it is wholesome, it does imply that Brown could move on as well.
Considering that Jaylen Brown is in line to become the first NBA player in history to get a $300 million contract though, it’s likely that the extension gets done sooner rather than later. His involvement in the community is another reason why it’s likely that he will stay with the team moving forward.
Jaylen Brown’s Contract Talks With The Celtics Are Set To Resume Next Week
Having made another deep playoff run with the Boston Celtics, Jaylen Brown was taking some deserved time off until he returned to Boston this week. Now that he is back in town, though, reports suggest that contract talks between him and the organization will pick up soon.
“With Jaylen Brown now back in Boston from his NBPA retreat in Spain, contract talks will resume next week, according to a league source.”
Jaylen Brown averaged 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game for the Celtics last season, making his second All-Star appearance. At 26 years of age, he has just entered his prime, and it feels like only a matter of time before he and Jayson Tatum win a championship together in Boston.
Whether that happens or not is up to the contract negotiations. And after seeing his recent initiatives in the community, Boston fans will want the team to keep him around for reasons greater than just the output he provides on the basketball court.
