Jaylen Brown: “Maxey’s been leading the way, 100%. He’s been here, this is his team. Him and Joel have been here for a while, so the mindset has been to compliment those guys. I’m finding my footing, but Maxey’s been leading the way for sure.”
Austin Krell: Jaylen Brown on his knee: "It's been a little sore. Been having some flares. It's nothing to be overly concerned about. But I'll progress as the season goes on. I haven't felt very athletic, like my normal self, and feeling a little under the rim, you know. But I'm looking forward. I felt better today. Looking forward to getting that pop back in my step so I can like explode and take off. I haven't been as athletic as I would like to start the season. Knee, achilles, calf has been part of it."
K.C. Johnson: 76ers 126, Bulls 107 Wilson 24 pts, 7 rebs, 4 assists, 4 steals Powell 18 pts Giddey 13 pts, 10 assists Maxey 26 pts, 11 assists Brown 25 pts, 11 rebs, 5 assists Edgecombe 21 pts James 15 pts, 9 assists, 7 rebs
Jaylen Brown: "Bill Russell is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. He was humanitarian, he was a giant, so to have a trophy named after him and then that trophy being able to go to me, can't tell you what that means to me and my family."
NBABase: Former Celtic Evan Turner shuts down the idea that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were never friends “The thing of them saying they were never really friends is crazy because I know for sure they had the utmost respect for each other. Like when you at least when I was around, when you walk in, when they look around, I've watched JT walk up to JB and shake his hand. I watched JT the vice versa... There's no real beef here. There's no real foundational beef that I thought and like no structural beef. It's just two alphas walking on a different path, you know what I mean, in the same Serengeti.” (Via @SInow)

Chris Hine: Sixers say Jaylen Brown is available tonight. Jabari Walker and Tacko Fall also available. The frontcourt gets some help.
Gina Mizell: Unsurprisingly, Joel Embiid and LeBron James are listed as OUT for tonight’s game in Charlotte. Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable after missing last night’s win over New York. Jabari Walker and Tacko Fall also are questionable, which would provide a needed frontcourt lift.
Brett Siegel: Without Jaylen Brown, the 76ers improved to 5-1 with a 98-93 win in NBA Cup group play over the defending champion Knicks. Tyrese Maxey and Anfernee Simons combined for 48 points and 8 triples for Philly. New York is now 2-4 on the season.
Carmelo Anthony on Celtics: "Because I was around that situation, it tells me that this is what it is. It's no more of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. This is separated. This is you went on, I did our thing and two things could be right at the same time. Two things could be wrong at the same time. I think that's what we're dealing with here. Nobody is going to know other than Jayson Tatum on his side and Jaylen Brown on his side and the people who was around that scenario."

Brown then delivered his strongest criticism of the awards system. "All the awards that people chase, all the outside validation, it doesn't even matter. It's made up," Brown said. "Somebody made up an award and made up a fake committee to give people these awards based upon what criteria nobody actually really knows." "If you wrap your identity in that, you will never be happy," Brown added. "I won't let anybody or anything control my happiness or my peace."
"Who's the best player in the world, or who's the MVP this year, or all these different types of things – it's subjective," Brown said on The Young Man and the Three. "The media, the people that you need to vote for you to win these awards, sometimes they vote for their favorites, or they vote for people that, you know, the storyline they want to win."
Kris Rhim: Jaylen Brown is questionable for Friday’s game against the Knicks with left knee soreness, the Sixers announced. Other injury designations: OUT: Tacko Fall (quad), Dominck Barlow (back), Jabari Walker (knee)
Daniel Radcliffe on acting after the Harry Potter movies: Yes, there were probably some directors that took a step back and didn't want to work with me in the immediate aftermath of those movies, but for every one of them, there was also one that was very keen to give me an opportunity. And I always say like I've been really lucky to have a bunch of people give me tons of different opportunities. And I just take as many of them as I can. Jaylen Brown: "I feel the same way being a basketball player. It's very hard to make it to the NBA. It's like you're in the 1% of the 1% but in the very similar facet, you can be typecasted where it's like you're just a basketball player. And throughout my career, I think I've done a good job of making sure that I've tried to not fight but develop other aspects of me so people can see that I was more than just a basketball player."
