What Jayson Tatum said about Jaylen Brown’s criticism of Team USA snub

Jayson Tatum spent most of Wednesday’s exhibition game between Team USA and Canada slipping past Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the hardwood.

And on Thursday morning, the Celtics star spent some of his media availability in Las Vegas dodging questions regarding his Boston teammate, Jaylen Brown, and his perceived snub of a roster spot on Team USA.

“Ah, no,” Tatum told reporters, per NBC Sports Boston, of if he’s talked with Brown since he was not added to Team USA’s roster.

Tatum is in a precarious spot, considering that Brown’s potential spot on Team USA was eventually handed to a fellow teammate in Derrick White.
