Sixers tease Celtics with ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends’ amid Tatum-Brown feud

The anticipation continues to build for the first game between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers since their offseason trade that sent Jaylen Brown to the Sixers. The two teams play Tuesday, Nov. 10, in a matchup the entire NBA will be focused on because of the brewing feud between Brown and Celtics star Jayson Tatum after the two former teammates parted ways.

So the Sixers decided to have a little fun with the growing controversy when the Celtics took the floor for their morning shootaround at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The song, “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” by War played on the public address system as the 76ers were on the court, according to video taken by reporters in attendance.

Brown and Tatum spent nine seasons together with the Celtics and won an NBA championship in 2022. But their fruitful on-court partnership has devolved into a war of words off the floor now that they’re on rival teams.
