Celtics Issue One-Emoji Reaction To Major Jaylen Brown Announcement
The Boston Celtics are inching closer towards the start of the 2025-26 season, as their first game of the regular season is just over a month away. On Thursday, star forward Jaylen Brown made a big announcement that will surely catch the attention of fans.
Heading into the new campaign, Brown is going to have a lot of attention on him. With Jayson Tatum set to miss the majority of the 2025-26 campaign after suffering a torn Achilles, Brown will be the Celtics’ de facto leader.
By now, Brown is already established as one of the best players in the league. He averaged 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last season while shooting 46.3% from the field, which helped him earn the fourth All-Star selection of his career.
In case there was any need for Brown to truly cement himself as a star in the NBA, he was announced as one of the players featured in Netflix’s “Starting 5” series. After the news went public, the Celtics issued a one-emoji reaction on social media.
“Starting 5” is a documentary series that follows some of the NBA’s top players throughout the course of the previous series. In the first season, Tatum was one of the five players featured, with his role in leading the Celtics to a championship being one of the main storylines of the season.
Now, the series will take a look at Brown’s role with Boston last season, in the wake of him winning Eastern Conference Finals MVP and Finals MVP the year before. Even though the C’s ultimately fell short of expectations last season, it should provide an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the 2024-25 team from Brown’s perspective.
The second season of “Starting 5” is scheduled to drop on Oct. 16, which is right before the start of the 2025-26 campaign. In the meantime, Brown and the rest of the Celtics will continue preparing for the start of training camp, which is less than two weeks away now.
