Did Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown Drop a Cryptic Message After His Stunning Exclusion from Team USA’s 2024 Olympics?

The famous annual sporting event provided the perfect opportunity for Jaylen Brown to speak publicly about his stunning omission from Team USA, and the Boston Celtics star broke his silence but left many wondering what his comments meant.

“It’s great to have the support, and one day I’ll share my story. People don’t have all the information in the world that they want to know. It’s great to be at the ESPYs and hold the Larry O’Brien trophy,” Brown said, via Noa Dalzell of SBNation.

Despite winning the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, Finals MVP and Larry O’Brien award this season, Brown was not named to Team USA. He was supposed to replace Kawhi Leonard, who withdrew due to injuries, but teammate Derrick White was called up instead.

Jaylen Brown speculated that he was snubbed because of his previous conflict with Nike, the official equipment supplier of the American team.
