PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired All-Star forward Jaylen Brown in a deal with the Boston Celtics, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.

What we know:

In exchange for Brown, the Sixers are sending forward Paul George to Boston along with two first-round and two second-round draft picks, according to Charania.

The Sixers eliminated Brown and the Celtics in seven games in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs, before being swept by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
