In Photos: Jaylen Brown and ESPYs date Kysre Gondrezick turn heads in portraits with all-black outfits
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown and his date Kysre Gondrezick gave off power couple vibes in their ESPYs portraits, draped in all-black outfits. Gondrezick shared the portraits on her Instagram story, which featured Brown donned in a three-piece all-black suit and Gondrezick wearing an elegant Valdrin Sahiti lingerie-inspired black dress.
Kysre Gondrezick, also a basketball star, is currently a WNBA free agent after last playing for the Chicago Sky. She was drafted fourth overall in the 2021 WNBA draft.
Brown put fuel to the flames of his rumored relationship with Gondrezick when the two walked the red carpet at the ESPY Awards together on Friday. Speculation began after the WNBA player was spotted supporting Brown after the Celtics clinched the NBA championship title last month. However, neither basketball star has publicly commented on their relationship yet.
Jaylen Brown Paris Olympic Team USA snub
After Kawhi Leonard withdrew from the Team USA roster for the upcoming Paris Olympics, Jaylen Brown's Celtics' teammate Derrick White was chosen over him to replace the LA Clippers star.
When asked about the snub at the 2024 ESPY Awards on Friday, the reigning NBA Finals MVP declined to elaborate and instead deflected the question by pointing towards his date, Kysre Gondrezick.
"I don't really got no comment. You know what I mean?" Brown said. "I got my beautiful date right there."
This comes after Jaylen Brown raised concerns over Team USA sponsor Nike, suggesting they may have influenced the decision to keep him off the roster. Brown had posted two cryptic tweets after the Olympic snub news on Wednesday.
The first tweet was a series of speculating emojis, while the second was addressed to Nike:
"@nike this what we doing?"
Many NBA fans wanted Jaylen Brown to make the Olympic roster and voiced their opinion on social media regarding the snub. The three-time NBA All-Star addressed the fans for their support during another interview at the 2024 ESPY Awards:
"It feels great to have support and one day I'll share my story. People don't have all the information in the world that they would like to know. It just feels great to be here at the ESPYs and to be holding up the Larry O'Brien."
Friday's event also featured Brown receiving the Best Championship Performance Award for his contribution to the Boston Celtics' quest to earn their 18th title in the 2023-24 season.
