Jaylen Brown reiterated his commitment to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, denying speculation that he's frustrated with the franchise.

"I love Boston," Brown said during a Twitch livestream. "And if it was up to me, I could play in Boston for the next 10 years."

Brown's future became a hot topic after Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady said on his podcast that Brown has frustration that "lies deeply within the (Celtics) organization."

"It's just been a lot of stuff that I've been hearing, going on with the Boston organization with JB," McGrady added.

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens was asked about it earlier Wednesday. He said he had a "positive" conversation with Brown on Monday after Boston's Game 7 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Daniel Donabedian of Celtics Wire.

"Everybody around here loves JB," Stevens added.

Brown also spoke highly of his rapport with Stevens.

"I hate that our president of basketball operations even had to respond to this," Brown said. "Me and Brad have a great relationship."

Brown, a former NBA Finals MVP, averaged a career-high 28.7 points in 71 appearances this season. The five-time All-Star also had 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists in his 10th season with the Celtics.
