Jaylen Brown has been having an unusual -- at least for him -- experience with fouling this season with the Boston Celtics. Not only has he been publically frustrated with the paucity of foul calls against him this season, the Georgia native is also racking up more technical fouls than he has been used to so far this year.
Brown opened up about this new technical foul reality he is in after picking up his third tech of the 2025-26 NBA regular season in the Celtics' 119-115 road loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves this past Saturday. "I don’t know what my career number for techs is per season, but it’s probably the most I’ve gotten early in the season," said the Cal alum via MassLive's Brian Robb.
