Brown didnt look too far ahead when I asked, but the enormous challenge awaiting was obvious when Tatum went down. Next week, he'll begin leading the #Celtics in every aspect with Tatum out. G6, one of his roughest nights, showed the tough part: doing it every night www.clnsmedia.com/jaylen-brown...

The Celtics' biggest question to begin training camp next week is how Jaylen Brown will lead Boston with Jayson Tatum out. It's an opportunity he's awaited.
