Sunday at Rocket Arena was a milestone night for Jordan Walsh. The third-year wing registered his first career double-double. Making his eighth straight start, he generated 14 points and 11 rebounds in the Boston Celtics' 117-115 victory vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That also represents a new career high in scoring for Walsh. He did so on 4/7 shooting, tacking on five more points at the free-throw line. His all-around impact is why he has become a mainstay in the first unit.
"He's learning the understanding of the identity," Joe Mazzulla told Hardwood Houdini while discussing Walsh's growth after a recent game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
