Jordan Walsh embraces his new starting role for the Boston Celtics, turning a previous snub into fuel. After a strong defensive stretch last season that earned him a three‑year, $15 million extension, Walsh starts the 2026‑27 season alongside Mitchell Robinson, Derrick White, Paul George and Jayson Tatum. The unit ranks fourth in offensive rating (118.9) and second defensively (101.3), with Walsh ranked fourth among point‑of‑attack defenders by BBall Index. He aims to expand his offensive game, shooting 45% from the field and 40% from three so far, and highlighted a 15‑point performance against Brooklyn. Coach Joe Mazzulla sees Walsh’s on‑ball defense as a tone‑setter that frees Paul George to excel off the ball.
