Former boxer Marselles Brown, the father of Boston Celtics superstar Jaylen, has been arrested for attempted murd3r after allegedly stabbing another man.

Brown already has his work cut out for him heading into the 2025/26 NBA season, as he will be without sidekick Jayson Tatum, who ruptured an Achilles tendon in the playoffs earlier this year.

One team legend has already questioned whether he can lead Boston without Tatum, while one analyst has declared that he won’t be able to push them to a top-six finish in the Eastern Conference.

According to TMZ, his father is in custody after allegedly getting into a dispute with a youth football coach over a parking spot on Wednesday and stabbing him in the stomach.

Jaylen Brown And His Father Are Not Close

The ex-pugilist is said to have fled the scene but was tracked down by police and was due to have his first court appearance this Thursday.

 

TMZ reports that, “Las Vegas Metro Police is investigating a stabbing that went down at All American Park on Wednesday … stating two men were in a verbal altercation over a parking space when the suspect stabbed the victim in the stomach.”

The outlet adds that the victim was rushed to a nearby hospital and needed surgery, but his condition was unknown at the time of writing.

Marselles Brown retired from boxing with a 33-18-1 record. He made his debut in 1989 and had his last fight over 10 years ago.

According to TMZ, he doesn’t have a close relationship with Jaylen, who was unaware of the incident or the arrest.

He did make mention of his children in an interview from nine years ago, however, claiming he was “extremely proud of both my sons. I am especially proud of Jaylen. He is an extraordinary athlete and very smart.”

While there are doubts that Jaylen Brown can carry the Celtics in Taytum’s absence, he recently said he’s actually been holding back due to all the talent that was around him.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
