Walsh had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 loss to the Pistons.
Walsh failed to score despite earning the start, logging just 13 minutes. Having Walsh as a starter was certainly a curious move, and first impressions were not good. Even if he is to remain with the opening five, Walsh is not someone fantasy managers need to pay too much attention to, outside of very deep leagues.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Scoreless in preseason win
Rotowire
Walsh finished Wednesday's 114-93 preseason win over the Hornets with two points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes.
Walsh provided a muted impact on the offensive end in his limited burn Wednesday. The 22-year-old forward is a talented defender who still has room to grow offensively, and he is expected to open the season as a member of Boston's starting five, according to Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com. Across 25 regular-season starts in 2025-26, Walsh averaged 7.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks in 22.7 minutes per showing.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Scores 16 points in preseason opener
Rotowire
Walsh tallied 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a block across 26 minutes in Thursday's 124-113 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Walsh joined Baylor Scheierman and Luka Garza as one of the three starters who crossed the 15-point threshold in this win for the Celtics, and he continues to make a strong case for a prominent role in the rotation with the start of the regular season around the corner. Although he finished with a minus-13 rating and committed five personal fouls, Walsh's aggressive offensive approach was encouraging as he looks to establish a larger role in Boston's wing rotation. He's in the mix for a bench role at either forward position.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Looking to take step forward
Rotowire
Walsh is learning from Paul George this offseason on how to expand his offensive game, per Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com.
After making a career-high 25 starts last regular season, Walsh is looking to take another step forward in 2026-27. He's in contention for a starting spot on the wing with Hugo Gonzalez, Baylor Scheierman and Sam Hauser during training camp, which will remain a battle to monitor this fall.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Quiet in loss to Philadelphia
Rotowire
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.
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 2025-26 campaign didn't work out exactly as the team had hoped, Walsh at least saw his production improve, as he averaged 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.
Walsh isn't starting in Sunday's game against the 76ers.
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.

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

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Resurfaces in rotation
Rotowire
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.
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.
Walsh (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
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).
