Jaylen Brown Makes Announcement After Celtics' Playoff Exit

Jaylen Brown and the No. 2 seed Boston Celtics, after taking a 3-1 series lead in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, saw their season come to an end on Saturday night after falling to Joel Embiid and the No. 7 seed Philadelphia 76ers 109-100 in Game 7. Now the Celtics will head into the offseason, potentially eyeing some moves in hopes of getting back to the NBA Finals.

While the 2025-26 season was supposed to be a “gap year” for Boston, especially with Jayson Tatum sidelined for most of the season and missing Game 7 with a leg issue, Brown still managed to carry the Celtics to the playoffs. But his 33 points, nine rebounds and four assists in Game 7 weren’t enough to get Boston past a healthy 76ers team, as the Celtics missed out on an Eastern Conference semifinals appearance for the first time since 2021.

Since the Game 7 loss, many Boston fans have floated the idea of trading Brown for another star, with Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo a popular target, especially with the Celtics at -66 with Brown on the court over the last three games against Philly, compared to +26 when he was on the bench. But all the outside noise hasn’t stopped Brown from continuing his side hustle.

In September of last year, ahead of training camp, Brown ventured into the live-streaming world, starting his own Twitch account, FCHWPO, which matches all of his social media handles. Throughout the season, the former California guard streamed a couple of times per week, bringing on several of his Celtics teammates, including Payton Pritchard and Jordan Walsh.

And on Sunday, less than 24 hours after Boston’s playoff exit, Brown announced his first live stream since the Game 7 loss, set to begin at 8:30 p.m. ET. The Celtics star is expected to discuss the past season while bringing on some special guests.

"LIVE STREAM STARTING AT 8:30PM EST TONIGHT," Brown wrote on X. "BASKETBALL | REACTIONS | SPECIAL GUESTS TWITCH.TV/FCHWPO"

While Brown and the Celtics see their season end, the 76ers will be moving on to the second round, where they will face Jalen Brunson and the No. 3 seed New York Knicks beginning with Game 1 on Monday at 8:00 p.m. ET.
