There’s been plenty of speculation over the years about Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown’s off-court relationship.

A lack of public appearances together seems to fuel a view that the young stars don’t actually get along or hang out away from basketball. While on the court, they’re guiding the Celtics on another long postseason run, but the off-court concerns still persist.

Speaking on FanDuel TV, former NBA player Lou Williams gave some insight into what the pair’s relationship is actually like. Celtics fans can rest a little easier with his explanation.

“I’ll open the curtain up, they absolutely do hang out,” Williams said. “I’ve been a person that’s been with them on several occasions, but they’re both private men. They don’t live these lives where cameras are following them everywhere. … They’re private about their personal lives, they’re private about their families, they’re private about how they move.

“I’ve seen them on a number of occasions, hanging out, being friends.”

Regardless of their relationship, Tatum and Brown haven’t had trouble taking turns being “the guy” on…
