Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum addressed speculation about his relationship with former teammate Jaylen Brown following the team's victory over the New York Knicks at TD Garden.

When questioned repeatedly after the game, Tatum emphasized that there is no lingering resentment between the two players. > "I don’t have any animosity or beef or ill will towards him," he said.
