Jaylen Brown's Technical Foul During Celtics' Game 7 Win Over 76ers Rescinded by NBA

A day after the Celtics' Game 7 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, the NBA announced that it rescinded Jaylen Brown's technical foul.

Brown was assessed the technical in the second quarter after he saved a ball from going out of bounds and was held back from running up the court by Philadelphia's Georges Niang, which led to a confrontation and both players receiving offsetting technicals following a review.

The All-NBA second-team selection obviously disagreed with the call as he was just responding to Niang's actions.

"And here comes Scott Foster, right away before even deciphering the situation, gives me a tech," Brown said postgame. "I definitely didn't want to get a tech in that situation. But somehow coming out all that commotion ended up being even. There was no advantage from that. … And I think a play like that should have been a little bit more there."

While it didn't end up being that big of a call as Boston still went on to win in blowout fashion 112-88, it's nice that Brown won't have to pay a nice fine or have another tech on his tally as the Celtics wade deeper into the postseason.

Brown has once again been a huge piece to Boston's playoff run this year as it has reached its third Eastern Conference Finals in the last four years and is looking for its second consecutive trip to the NBA Finals.

While much of the chatter after Game 7 was Jayson Tatum's 51 points, Brown—the other half of the star duo—came up with 25 points of his own to go along with six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in the win.

Now, he'll face a familiar opponent in conference finals in the Miami Heat, who he's had some relative success against. In 13 playoff games versus the Heat, Brown has averaged 23.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists.
