Quiet in loss to Philadelphia Walsh logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across five minutes during Saturday's 109-100 loss to Philadelphia in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Impact Despite the absence of Jayson Tatum (knee), Walsh didn't benefit. In fact, he logged a series-low five minutes while going without a point. Although the season didn't work out exactly as the team had hoped, Walsh saw his production skyrocket during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging a career-best 5.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.7 steals across 17.8 minutes in 68 regular-season appearances (25 starts). While Walsh should hold a stable role in the rotation for the Celtics next season, assuming he remains on the roster, he may have trouble being consistently productive as long as the starters stay healthy.

Impact Walsh started in the Celtics' final three contests of the regular season, most recently finishing with nine points, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 33 minutes in the 113-108 win over Orlando on April 12. However, with a healthy starting lineup for Boston versus Philadelphia, Walsh will head back to the bench, potentially seeing 10-15 minutes of work in Game 1.

Back to bench Wednesday Walsh is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Heat on Wednesday.

Impact Walsh started in each of the Celtics' last two games, but the third-year wing will revert to a bench role for Wednesday's contest. The Celtics will roll with a starting lineup of Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta.

Jordan Walsh just pulled a Marcus Smart in the best way possible for the Celtics Walsh put up numbers that should definitely remind fans of one of the most memorable Celtics of the 21st century.

Starting versus Orlando Walsh will start in Sunday's game against Charlotte, according to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com.

Impact The Celtics are down Jaylen Brown (Achilles) and Derrick White (knee), so head coach Joe Mazzulla will turn to Walsh to make his first start since New Year's Day. In 20 starts during the campaign, the 22-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.1 steals across 21.5 minutes.

Jordan Walsh has personified Celtics' defining characteristic in suprising season Jordan Walsh made plenty of winning plays for the Celtics in their win over the Atlanta Hawks, despite not having played in over two weeks.

Resurfaces in rotation Walsh recorded five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three blocks and one assist across 27 minutes Friday in the Celtics' 109-102 win over the Hawks.

Impact With Jaylen Brown (Achilles) sitting out Friday, Walsh re-entered the rotation after going unused in each of the Celtics' last six games. Walsh fared well in his low-usage role, knocking down his lone perimeter shot while making his biggest impact at the defensive end. Despite seeing heavy minutes Friday, Walsh could drop back out of the rotation Sunday in Charlotte if Brown is cleared to return to action.

Off injury report Walsh (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Walsh was sidelined for Friday's 120-100 win over the Mavericks due to an illness, but the third-year pro has recovered enough to return for Sunday's road tilt. His minutes were set to take a sizable hit due to the return of Jayson Tatum, but Walsh could still see some meaningful playing time for the next couple of weeks due to the absence of Nikola Vucevic (finger).

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Dallas Walsh (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Walsh is under the weather and will miss Friday's contest, but he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to be available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. Walsh's absence shouldn't impact the Celtics' rotation all that much, seeing as Jayson Tatum (Achilles) has been cleared to make his 2025-26 debut against Dallas.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Walsh (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Dallas.

Impact Walsh was a very late addition to the injury report. He's been averaging 13.0 minutes over his last seven appearances, and minutes will be hard to come by with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) targeting his debut against Dallas.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Unimpactful again Wednesday Walsh ended with four points (2-2 FG, 0-1 FT) and three rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 103-84 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Walsh logged 14 minutes in the loss, most of which came during garbage time. While it has been a somewhat encouraging season for Walsh, his role in recent times has been less than ideal. In 12 games over the past month, he has seen just 13.8 minutes per game, putting up 4.2 points and 3.5 rebounds. At this point, he should not be rostered in any moderately competitive league.

Productive in blowout win Walsh recorded 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Walsh has been quiet lately, but turned in his first double-digit scoring night since Jan. 3 Wednesday against the Bulls. His versatility shined in the victory as the third-year wing from Arkansas put up 16 points, six boards, two blocks and three steals. The large margin of victory helped him see additional run, but Walsh can deliver when called upon.
