Boston Celtics fans are witnessing an evolution occurring in real time. Jordan Walsh, who entered this season fighting for his future with the franchise and perhaps his NBA career, is having a glow-up.
That includes the third-year wing scoring a new career-high in two of the team's last three games. Walsh registered 14 points in Boston's 117-115 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Two tilts later, he put 22 on the board against the Washington Wizards. He went eight for eight from the field in the Celtics' 146-101 demolition in the nation's capital.
Walsh is the ninth player in franchise history to score at least 20 points without missing a shot, and the first to do so since Robert Williams in 2021, per Justin Turpin of WEEI.
