Jaylen Brown is wasting no time settling in with the Philadelphia 76ers.
It has been nearly two months since the Sixers pulled off the trade for Brown, and the move has already given the roster a different look. Philadelphia came out of it with more than just a boost - the team landed two superstar-level names in Brown and LeBron James.
Brown, though, isn’t treating the summer like a victory lap. He’s been focused on getting to work, sharpening his own game and building chemistry with his new teammates before the 2026-27 season arrives.
That effort has shown up in the way he’s approached the offseason. Brown has been one of the voices helping set the tone for Philadelphia, and that matters for a team trying to build a winning culture.
On his Twitch stream, Brown laid out how much time he’s already spent around his new teammates and how intentional that has been.
"We got some work to do ahead of us, but it should be, rightfully so, it should be a lot of excitement cause I’m excited myself and working with the young guys, Labaron, VJ, Dogs, even Barlow, Bona, you know, Anfernee," Brown said on his Twitch stream about the teammates he has played alongside.
He also made clear that the work has gone beyond a few isolated sessions.
"I done worked out pretty much everybody on the team constantly, you know, talking, you know, just getting acclimated with one another. You know, I think that’s important. So it’s been a great summer."
Brown’s reputation has long been built on more than talent. In Boston, he stood out not just as a high-level player, but as someone who put in the work and carried himself like a leader. That same approach has followed him to Philadelphia, where he and James now bring the kind of championship experience the Sixers can lean on.
If that summer work carries into the season, Philadelphia will like where this is headed. The ingredients are there, and Brown is clearly pushing to make sure the group comes together fast.

LeBrons First Sixers Season Comes With Real History At Stake
LeBron James is heading into his first season with the 76ers carrying more than the usual late-career buzz. At this stage, every game seems to bring another layer of history, and this one is no different. Entering his 24th NBA season, James arrives with a chance to keep climbing across the leagues record books while giving Philadelphia a star who has already touched nearly every corner of the sports modern era.
For the Sixers, the intrigue is not just what James can still do night to night, but how many longstanding marks he can keep pushing while wearing a new jersey. He is within range of becoming the all-time leader in regular-season wins, moving higher on the assists list and adding another championship to a rsum that already stretches across generations. Even the age-related milestones have become part of the conversation, which is what happens when a player has been good enough, and durable enough, to make history feel routine. [Read more 🡒]
Jaylen Brown Just Changed How 76ers Fans May View This Rivalry
Jaylen Brown is giving the old Celtics dynamic a different kind of afterlife, and 76ers fans have reason to pay attention. At a childrens basketball camp, Brown singled out Jayson Tatum as his funniest teammate, a lighthearted comment that cuts against the familiar storyline that the two stars were somehow locked in a personal feud during their years together in Boston.
For Philadelphia, the bigger takeaway is how much of the drama around Brown and Tatum has lived more in the noise around the Celtics than in anything public between the players themselves. There were reports of tension involving Brown and Bostons management, but no confirmed sign of a real rift with Tatum, and that history matters now that Brown is in a 76ers uniform and every layer of his rivalry with Boston will be watched a little more closely.

VJ Edgecombe Is Giving 76ers Fans Real Reason To Dream Bigger
VJ Edgecombe kept building momentum for the Bahamas in FIBA World Cup Americas Qualifiers, helping his national team beat Panama 100-82 with another eye-catching all-around performance. He scored 25 points, hit seven 3-pointers and added five rebounds, four assists and three steals, a stat line that fits the growing buzz around the third overall pick as he heads into his second NBA season with the 76ers.
For Philadelphia, the timing is hard to ignore. Edgecombe has averaged 23.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.0 steals across three qualifier games, and the 76ers open the season Oct. 20 against the Knicks with a young wing who is showing he can influence a game in a lot of different ways. What matters next is how much of that international confidence carries over once he is back in an NBA rotation and facing a much different level of scrutiny. [Read more 🡒]
