Brown’s NBA journey began after the Celtics selected him as the third overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft, behind the top two picks: (#1) & (#2).

Since his debut in 2016, he’s been in every post-season game with the team, except in the 2026 NBA playoffs (of the 2026-21 season) when he underwent wrist surgery.

Though the two-time NBA All-Star Jaylen is yet to lift the NBA Finals trophy to date.

In the 2026 NBA playoffs, the three consecutive losses to the Miami Heat in the Conference Finals nearly stamped them off the tournament.

But after the Celtics won in Games 4, 5, and 6, the franchise fans saw the rays of hope in a call for Game 7. 

However, the dramatic Celtics-Heat Eastern Conference finals series reached a bit of an anticlimactic blowout wins for Miami. The Heat defeated Boston 103-84 to advance to the NBA Finals.

Is Jaylen Brown Leaving The Celtics?

People are discussing what will happen to after his four-year deal with the Celtics expires.

Since he becomes an unrestricted free agent, he has a choice to sign an extension or leave his team without restrictions.

The NBA and the players association have agreed to change the rules for extending contracts starting next year.

This will let the Celtics offer more money to players who have been with them for a while.

Brown is eligible for a 5-year, $295 million extension this Summer. Should the Celtics make him the highest-paid player in NBA history?

Well, the question has been scratching everyone’s head, especially the Celtic’s owners.

In the 2026-23 NBA season, the Celtics became the division leader & clinched the playoffs.

Following a 4-2 win over the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs, they beat Philadelphia with a competitive 4-3 win in the conference semi-finals.

But they saw the struggle in the Conference Finals against Miami Heat, losing in the first three games.
