Celtics nab first summer league win with 95-90 victory over Lakers powered by Jordan Walsh
The Boston Celtics won their first game of the NBA’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League on Wednesday night vs. the Los Angeles Lakers with a 95-90 victory behind a breakout game by rookie wing Jordan Walsh. The former Arkansas Razorback put up a game-high 25 points, and 8 rebounds performance while shooting 2-of-7 from beyond the arc,
Walsh had support in the victory from guard Jay Scrubb (18 points, 6 boards, 4 assists off of the bench) and floor general Dalano Banton, who had 12 points and 6 assists in his summer league debut. Celtics two way point guard JD Davison had a much more polished game including a double-double with 11 points, as many boards, and 6 assists, and Boston wing Justin Champagnie also had a solid outing with 10 points and 7 boards.
With the win, Boston now improves to 1-2 in Las Vegas Summer League action.
