Jaylen Brown may have just called his old teammate a liar. He used one emoji to do it.
Brown left a blue cap emoji under a video of Jayson Tatum talking about the trade.
In online slang, cap means a lie. Brown added no words of his own.
Tatum says he learned about the trade from reporter Shams Charania in Las Vegas.
Charania handed him a towel, Tatum says. Then came the words: they just traded him.
Tatum asked where. The answer: Philly. Tatum joked they traded him down the street.
Boston sent Brown to the 76ers over the summer. In return came Paul George and draft picks.
Tatum and Brown played together from 2017 to 2026. They won the 2024 championship.
Brown opened with 19 points against the Knicks. Then 21 against Cleveland. Philly is undefeated.
Tatum scored 13 points on 6-of-23 shooting in Boston's opener. The Celtics lost to Detroit.
Brown doubts Tatum's story. That is clear. Which part he doubts is still unknown.
The 76ers and Celtics meet on November 10. The emoji will be the talk of that game.
Get the full breakdown, key numbers, and what happens next.
