Jordan Walsh Signs Three-Year Celtics Extension
The Boston Celtics have extended Jordan Walsh with a multi-year contract that, across reports, runs through the 2029-30 season, following the team exercising Walsh’s $2.4 million option for 2026-27. Walsh, who is 22, posted a breakout 2025-26 season with 5.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 68 games (25 starts), highlighted by a dramatic rise in 3-point shooting to 38.4%. The deal secures Walsh as a key depth option on the wing behind stars like Jayson Tatum and Paul George, with the team expected to continue integrating him into larger roles as they reshape the lineup. While reports vary slightly on the exact value and year the extension kicks in, the consensus is that Walsh earned a longer-term commitment after emerging as a reliable defender and shooter. Boston’s front office has prioritized adding additional youth depth to complement the post-Jaylen Brown era, with Walsh viewed as a cost-efficient piece for the foreseeable future.
