Brown (knee) is available for Saturday's game in Charlotte.
Brown is back after a one-game absence, and he should see a nice uptick in usage Saturday with LeBron James (rest) and Joel Embiid (rest) unavailable. Brown is averaging 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.2 steals per game this season.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game in Charlotte.
Brown sat out Friday's 98-93 win over the Knicks and is now in jeopardy of missing his second straight game. If he's out again, Dean Wade would likely get another start, and it will be the Tyrese Maxey show on offense with Joel Embiid (foot) and LeBron James (back) already ruled out for Halloween.

Rotowire
Brown (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Brown is sitting out the first leg of this back-to-back set, and he figures to be facing a short-term absence. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Dean Wade should see more playing time, while Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and LeBron James are all in line to handle more usage.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Brown is in danger of sitting out Friday's showdown with the defending champions, which is the front end of a back-to-back set. More pressure would fall on Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and LeBron James if Brown is out, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would be the most likely choice to enter the starting lineup.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Double-doubles against Indiana
Rotowire
Brown provided 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 114-109 victory over Indiana.
Brown delivered an efficient scoring performance while making a substantial impact on the glass, collecting four offensive rebounds. He also contributed a steal and a block, though his five turnovers were a blemish on an otherwise productive outing. Brown's ability to complement Philadelphia's other scoring threats with strong rebounding should help sustain his fantasy value.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Struggles badly with shot
Rotowire
Brown managed 16 points (5-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and a block across 40 minutes in Sunday's 106-93 loss to the Pistons.
Brown endured his least efficient shooting performance of the young season, converting just 25 percent of his field-goal attempts despite playing a season-high 40 minutes. The substantial workload and 20 shot attempts were encouraging, particularly with Philadelphia missing two starters. However, his limited defensive contributions and inefficient scoring resulted in a disappointing fantasy outing. Don't expect Brown to struggle at this rate on a regular basis, though, and he's more likely to bounce back rather than getting into a cold streak in future games.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Scores 27 points
Rotowire
Brown tallied 27 points (9-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists and three steals across 35 minutes in Saturday's 127-116 win over the Bucks.
Brown has scored at least 20 points in his last two games, and he took advantage of an expanded offensive role Saturday with LeBron James (back) on the sidelines for the first game of a back-to-back set. His three steals also provided a significant fantasy boost, giving him six over his last two appearances. Brown's scoring volume and playing time remain encouraging, and while it's early in the season, he's doing a good job of adjusting to a lineup featuring several players who need consistent touches, including James, Maxey and Joel Embiid (rest).

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Solid contribution in comeback win
Rotowire
Brown tallied 21 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-0 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Thursday's 114-106 win over the Cavaliers.
Brown played a team-high 38 minutes and remained heavily involved offensively despite sharing the floor with several stars, with Tyrese Maxey, LeBron James and Joel Embiid being some examples. Brown's playing time should support his fantasy production, but his scoring upside could fluctuate depending on how Philadelphia distributes its offensive opportunities. That would limit his appeal in most formats.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Thrives in team debut
Rotowire
Brown posted 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 106-100 victory over the Knicks.
Brown was highly effective in his long-awaited 76ers debut, scoring an efficient 19 points to go with a full stat line. The star forward benefitted significantly from Jayson Tatum missing most of last season with an Achilles injury -- Brown averaged a career-high 28.7 points and 5.1 assists per game for Boston in 2025-26 -- and Brown should still be an upper-echelon fantasy producer with a loaded Philadelphia squad even if he's unlikely to replicate last year's success.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Scores 20 points in OT loss
Rotowire
Brown recorded 20 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, a steal and two blocks across 31 minutes in Friday's 125-120 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Brown delivered a productive performance despite Philadelphia's defeat, shooting efficiently from the field while contributing strong numbers in other categories. The forward struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just one of his five attempts, but remained effective attacking the basket. He finished third on the team in scoring behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey while adding defensive production. Brown's well-rounded contributions were encouraging, though his three-point shooting and free-throw efficiency remain areas to monitor heading into the regular season.

Rotowire

After scoring 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting during his 76ers preseason debut Monday, Brown turned in another productive performance on the offensive end. The star forward led all players in scoring and ranked second on the Sixers in free throws made while knocking down all of his attempts from the charity stripe. Through two preseason outings, he's totaled 40 points, four rebounds and four assists in 41 minutes.

With LeBron James, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey sitting out the 76ers' preseason opener, VJ Edgecombe and Brown ran the show. The star forward didn't play in the second half but still erupted for a game-high 22 points, scoring 13 in the first quarter alone. He also turned in an efficient shooting performance and tied for the game-high mark in triples made.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Set to make Philadelphia debut Monday
Rotowire
Brown will make his 76ers debut in Monday's preseason game against the Knicks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Among others, LeBron James, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey will all sit out the Sixers' preseason opener, though Brown will suit up. The star forward was traded to Philadelphia on July 1 following a career year with Boston in 2025-26, during which he averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals across 34.4 minutes per game in 71 regular-season outings.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Learning new system in Philly
Rotowire
Brown stated Thursday that he's in the process of learning an entire new system in Philadelphia, Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Brown noted that he's been grateful for his teammate Tyrese Maxey during the install, as Maxey has reportedly been an excellent communicator and leader to start camp, per Austin Krell of OnPattison.com. The 29-year-old will have a few more weeks to get used to this new system before the 76ers open the 2026-27 season against the Knicks on Oct. 20.

76ers' Jaylen Brown: Heading to Philadelphia
Rotowire
The Celtics traded Brown to the 76ers on Wednesday in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Following a career-best year in which he earned his fifth All-Star selection and finished sixth in MVP voting, Brown will join Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe on the Sixers. Brown averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.4 minutes per game across 71 regular-season outings in 2025-26, though he could see a dip in production in a loaded starting five. The star swingman has averaged at least 20.3 points and 1.0 steals per game in seven straight seasons and should operate as one of Philadelphia's top offensive options.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Drops 33 points in Game 7 loss
Rotowire
Brown contributed 33 points (12-27 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 40 minutes in Saturday's 109-100 loss to the 76ers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Brown bounced back and provided a well-rounded performance after struggling in Thursday's Game 6 loss, though his 33-point effort was not enough to prevent the Sixers from completing a 3-1 comeback. The star swingman led the Celtics in points and rebounds while tying the game high in blocks, but he didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance. With Jayson Tatum (knee) missing most of the regular season while recovering from a ruptured Achilles, Brown stepped up and impressed. He earned his fourth straight All-Star nod, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.4 minutes per contest across 71 regular-season games.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Tough night in loss
Rotowire
Brown chipped in 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), one rebound and two assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 106-93 loss to the 76ers in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Both Brown and Jayson Tatum had below-average nights by their standards, which resulted in Boston pulling its starters off the court early in the fourth quarter to rest up for Game 7. Brown was averaging 25.8 points through the first five games of the series entering Thursday's Game 6, and he'll have an opportunity to get back on track Saturday in Game 7.
