Nick Kyrgios, apart from tennis, has an interest in many other sports. The Australian tennis ace especially loves watching basketball. He supports Boston Celtics and has strong opinions about its players. Hence, how could he stay quiet when there is a huge shift at the doorstep for the team?

The 2022 Wimbledon Championships finalist recently shared his thoughts on the matter of the 25-year-old Jaylen Brown’s time in the team.

Nick Kyrgios gives his opinion

While in a press conference, Kyrgios addressed the ongoing hustle related to Boston Celtics. He spoke about whether Kevin Durant’s acquisition should be prioritized ahead of Jaylen Brown. And said, “I love Jaylen Brown. I love Tatum. I hope it doesn’t change.”

Thereafter, the former World no.13 explained his stand. “Obviously, I understand the Celtics are a win now franchise. But I think Jaylen Brown is too valuable to give up. I think he is one of the best two way forwards in the league. So I hope not.”

Since 2016, Brown has been playing for the team, splitting his time between shooting guard and small forward and having a great partnership with Jayson Tatum. Therefore, the sudden talks of breaking up the duo shook fans, including the Aussie.
