Celtics’ Jordan Walsh is getting praise from Kristaps Porzingis, Payton Pritchard

For much of the NBA’s 2023-24 season, rookie Boston Celtics forward Jordan Walsh has been more of an idea than a player for the parent club, the Arkansas alum spending most of his floor time suiting up for the Maine Celtics in Portland as he hones his craft to an NBA-ready level.

But the Texan wing has been getting some playing time in Boston in recent days, putting up some modest numbers while showing us flashes of why the Celtics decided to take him in the second round of the 2023 draft. His teammates have taken note, with both star Boston big man Kristaps Porzingis and backup combo guard Payton Pritchard singing his praises postgame.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast dug in deeper on how Walsh has been doing in his limited run at the NBA level this season.
