Philadelphia held an introductory press event for Jaylen Brown after acquiring him in a trade with the Boston Celtics, the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers said. Brown, introduced as a former Finals MVP, held the event at the Francis J. Myers Recreation Center and invited local children to attend. He told reporters he is "excited to just be myself" and said "winning is the agenda," while stressing he wants to earn teammates' trust through his work ethic. Brown described a chaotic moment after the trade saying he "threw his phone across the room" and that Tyrese Maxey may have been the first teammate to reach out. Brown also said he has not really talked to Jayson Tatum since the trade and that LeBron James has been active in a team group chat the players use to communicate daily. The introduction emphasized both Brown's on-court goals and his commitment to community engagement in Philadelphia.
