Jaylen Brown’s Two-Word Response to Controversial Gesture vs Pistons

After Brown’s dunk, the NBA All-Star did a throat-slash celebration. Considering it’s a controversial celebration, Brown made it clear he expects to get a message from the NBA because of it.

“I asked Jaylen Brown if he expects to hear from the league after the throat slash gesture,” Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn wrote on social media. The response? “Oh Yeah.”

Brown would later acknowledge his back and forth with action with Stewart throughout the game. While the celebration might’ve gone just a tad too far, Brown made it clear he was focused throughout the matchup despite the chipiness going down.

“I feel like he’s always doing stuff like [pushing],” Brown said regarding Stewart. “I think that is how he plays the game. My focus is on coming out, running offense, getting our team in the right positions. I didn’t want to get distracted, but there was definitely some going back and forth, and we’re not tolerating that this year from nobody.”

Cunningham’s dunk for the Pistons stole the show for a moment. The veteran guard had a solid performance, putting up 27 points, 14 assists, and nine rebounds in 33 minutes.

However, the Celtics maintained control of the scoreboard. Boston came away with a ten-point victory. Brown’s contributions were major, as he scored 28 points, six rebounds, and nine assists on Wednesday.
