Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum says he and Jaylen Brown ‘want to try and figure it out together’

The two Celtics stars show no inclination of wanting to be split up.

Amid all of the clamoring from certain familiar corners of the Boston Celtics media sphere for the franchise to split up their star forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in the midst of yet another spate of substandard outcomes for the team, the young duo sat down with each other to take the temperature of their partnership.

They emerged still committed to making things work in Boston despite the noise and losses that had been the impetus behind their conversation in the first place while the Celtics seemed to find some footing in the win column at the same time.

Asked about the conversation after the Celtics nabbed an overtime win against a struggling, desperate Indiana Pacers outfit, and Tatum seemed happy. “It was good,” he began.
