Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown unveiled a new look at the team’s media day for the 2024-25 NBA season. The three-time All-Star decided to go clean-shaven, surprising many fans who have grown accustomed to his signature beard over the years. However, Brown assured everyone that his beard will make a comeback at some point in the future.
Brown’s beard has become a recognizable part of his image throughout his NBA career. He has even shared some tips on how he maintains his facial hair, mentioning the use of a pick and adding “berries and juices” to keep it looking healthy and full.
The timing of Brown’s new look coincides with high expectations for the upcoming season. After an impressive performance in the 2023-24 season, where he led the Celtics to win the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals, earning himself the Finals MVP title, fans are eager to see what he will achieve next.
During the postseason, Brown averaged 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game while shooting an impressive 51.6 percent from the field in 19 starts. His stellar play was instrumental in guiding the Celtics to their 18th championship in franchise history.
As the Celtics and the Denver Nuggets kick off the NBA media day events for the season, anticipation is building for what promises to be an exciting year of basketball. Both teams will start their preseason games in Abu Dhabi on October 4 and 6, offering fans a taste of what’s to come in the regular season.
While Brown’s beard may not be making the trip to Abu Dhabi, his new look is a refreshing change that reflects his readiness to tackle the challenges of the upcoming season. Fans can expect to see him back on the court, showcasing his skills and leadership as he aims to bring more success to the Celtics. The new look may be different, but one thing is certain – Jaylen Brown is prepared to make an impact on and off the court in the 2024-25 NBA season.
