Jaylen Brown Traded to Philadelphia 76ers in Major NBA Deal
The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers completed a significant trade on July 1, 2026, involving star player Jaylen Brown moving to Philadelphia. Brown, coming off a career-best season averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game, will join Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, potentially strengthening the 76ers' championship prospects.
In exchange, the Celtics receive veteran Paul George along with two first-round and two second-round draft picks, providing Boston with valuable assets for future roster building. The Celtics had been exploring trade options for Brown before accepting Philadelphia's offer.
This trade marks a major shift for both teams, with Boston parting ways with a five-time All-Star and Philadelphia acquiring a key player to bolster their title ambitions.
