A lot has been made about Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown and his future with the defending Eastern Conference champions.

With Boston facing elimination in Game 6 against the Philadelphia 76ers Thursday evening, this talk will continue to pick up. Brown, 26, earned Second-Team All-NBA honors this season. It sets into motion the possibility that he can earn a super-max extension worth $295 million over five years during the summer.

The former first-round pick out of Cal-Berkeley will become a free agent after the 2023-24 season if he does not sign this extension after the playoffs come to an end. The backdrop here has been a frustrated Brown opening up about the situation in Boston.

“I don’t know. As long as I’m needed. It’s not up to me. We’ll see how they feel about me over time and I feel about them over time. Hopefully, whatever it is, it makes sense. But I will stay where I’m wanted. I will stay where I’m needed and treated correct,” Brown about his future with the Celtics back in March.

More recently, Brown has displayed frustration with playing second fiddle to Jayson Tatum in Boston. Following the Celtics’ Game 4 loss to Philadelphia, Brown opened up about the lack of opportunities.
