Jaylen Brown Calls LeBron After Hairline Clip

Celtics star Jaylen Brown went viral after what appeared to be spray-on hair product from his augmented hairline rubbed off onto OG Anunoby’s white jersey during a Knicks game. Brown leaned into the jokes on a Twitch stream—mock-shaving himself, blaming Boston in jest for his thinning hair—and left a voicemail for LeBron James asking “Turkey or no Turkey” about hair-transplant options; Celtics announcer Drew Carter even joked midgame that Brown might be “flying to Turkey.” Brown shrugged it off on-court, scoring 30 points in a 125–105 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers as the Celtics navigate a slow start (roughly 1–3 to 2–3) amid Jayson Tatum’s injury and roster turnover. Teammates and staff have treated the episode as lighthearted banter rather than a distraction, and Brown said he remains focused on getting wins.
