BOSTON — Make-or-break might be harsh, but the 2025-26 season will undoubtedly be the most important of Jordan Walsh’s career. Past the obvious—a likely incline in opportunities due to roster changes—Walsh only has one year left on his contract after this season, and it includes a team option. If there were ever a time for him to blossom into a rotation piece, it’s now.
The Boston Celtics are preparing for a new era. No more Jrue Holiday, no more Kristaps Porzingis, no more Al Horford, no more Luke Kornet. And with Jayson Tatum sidelined, the need for depth is as crucial as ever.
