Celtics guarantee Jordan Walsh's contract for 2026-27 season
Summary

The Boston Celtics confirmed on July 20 that Jordan Walsh's contract for the 2026-27 season is now guaranteed. Walsh, a second-round pick, has seen his role increase, playing 68 games last season with an average of 17.8 minutes per game. Despite strong defensive skills, he has struggled offensively, averaging 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds. With competition for playing time from several other forwards, Walsh is working to improve his shooting and offensive contributions ahead of the next season. The Celtics may consider an extension for Walsh given his potential and the NBA's demand for defensive wings.
