The Boston Celtics’ star Jaylen Brown is set to face the Golden State Warriors on January 20, marking his only visit to San Francisco this NBA season.
This game comes after an earlier clash between the two teams in Boston on November 6. Brown, who was instrumental in leading the Celtics to the NBA Finals and earned MVP honors in the Eastern Conference finals, might have additional motivation for these matchups.
Speculation arises from his omission from the Team USA Olympic roster, coached by none other than the Warriors’ Steve Kerr. This snub could fuel Brown’s determination against Kerr’s team.
Adding to the intrigue, rookie Jaylon Tyson, drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers at No. 20, is expected to make his Bay Area debut against the Warriors on December 30. Tyson, who had an impressive college career at Cal and performed well in the summer league, is still working to secure a permanent spot on Cleveland’s roster.
Both Brown and Tyson, former Cal players, will have the chance to face Kerr and the Warriors in what could be highly competitive matchups.
The Celtics and Cavaliers will also meet multiple times this season, offering additional opportunities for Brown and Tyson to showcase their talents. These games could be particularly significant for Brown, who has been a consistent performer for the Celtics, averaging over 20 points per game in the past five seasons.
The anticipation is high as both players seek to make their mark against the Warriors and Steve Kerr.
