Celtics star Jaylen Brown was reportedly one of the players that stood up for the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to boycott their game on Wednesday, even if they didn’t consult other teams beforehand.

“We all – as athletes – came down here to play basketball,” Brown said. “But in the same sense, we’ve got stuff that’s important. So we’re trying to balance both and having conversations and meetings and things like that is all a part of it.
