"I will tell you that Jayson was an absolute dream to coach." The post Steve Kerr downplays idea that he and Jayson Tatum have a rift after Olympics, awkward postgame interaction appeared first on Boston.

Kerr and Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum have a history, dating back to the 2024 Paris Olympics where Tatum logged multiple DNPs, due to Kerr's decision. This controversial coaching decision by Kerr sparked many conversations, most not happy about leaving the Celtics superstar out of the rotation.

The drama surrounding the move has quieted down in recent months as the NBA season continued but resurfaced again on Monday. Cameras caught Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown appearing to give Kerr the cold shoulder after Boston’s blowout win over Golden State.

After a crushing 125-85 loss to the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had a stern message for his team. The defeat, which marked the Warriors' second-largest loss of the season, left them with a 21-21 record. It also kept the Dubs out of the playoff picture in the Western Conference.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown appeared to snub Steve Kerr after Monday's game between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors. While Tatum was speaking to Steph Curry after the game, Kerr stood around awkwardly appearing to wait for the Celtics star to acknowledge him.

Because it has always been zero days since drama at NBA headquarters, a lot of people took notice of an awkward interaction—technically non-interaction—between Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Celtics star Jayson Tatum after the game.
