Jaylen Brown joins forces with the $2.263 billion squad, swapping jerseys with Arsenal sensation Bukayo Saka.
On Thursday, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics easily defeated the Phoenix Suns 127–112 at home. The three-time All-standout then connected with English Premier League standout Bukayo Saka to trade jerseys.
With a 60.9% shooting percentage, Brown finished with a game-high 37 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and five 3-pointers. Meanwhile, the Suns were defeated 117-107 in Phoenix on Saturday by the Celtics, who won their season series 2-0.
Arsenal Football Club player Saka, whose team is valued at $2.263 billion (according to Forbes), was at the game on Thursday while waiting to learn his club’s UEFA Champions League draw. For the first time in fourteen years, Arsenal advanced to the quarterfinals of the competition.
After Boston’s 52nd win, which led the NBA, Saka and Brown traded their No. 7 Celtics and Arsenal shirts. After exchanging signatures, they hugged and posed for a picture where they traded jerseys.
The Celtics captioned their Instagram photo of the event, “Superstar link up,” after sharing it.
