This just changed EVERYTHING for Boston…
This is huge for the Boston Celtics Celtics rookie Jordan Walsh has just been called up from Maine and with a short-handed roster going into San Antonio could this be Jordan Walsh’s first playing minutes in the NBA this season we’ll be diving in looking at Jordan Walsh’s g-league stats and
Looking at some interviews from two of his g-league teammates talking about how great Jordan Walsh has been for this g-league team and how he could be impactful for this Celtics roster hopefully in the future all of that and more on this episode of Celtics digest I’m Bruce FZ but before we dive into

Button as you definitely will not regret it but let’s dive into the news at hand today so make sure to grab a snack as today is going to be a jam-packed episode as we dive in looking at this big thing at Jordan Walsh and we’ll be looking at Jordan Walsh possibly getting
An opportunity now I’m a huge huge Celtics fan and a huge huge Jordan Walsh big fan this year I’ve been wanting Jordan Walsh to play with the Celtics team since the start of the season I thought he possibly could have been the backup for alongside OA Bret in the Mar
Stevens but the Celtics felt like he needed to definitely develop and learn how to play in the g- league before he got that NBA run they sent him down to the g- league at the start of the season after having a phenomenal summer league alongside JD Davidson and they’re
Looking like they could be two potential Stars alongside Sam Hower that the Celtics could build up in this system and have for the Long Haul but let’s look at Jordan Walsh and look at how impactful this is for the Boston Celtics as we can see from the Celtics Twitter
They recall Jordan Walsh from the main Celtics last night and that is a big thing for the rookie like I mentioned in the intro he has not played a single minute in the NBA yet and I had a graphic that I found on Twitter yesterday that I completely lost so I
Want to know if somebody can find this out for me but Jordan Walsh is one of like I believe three or five rookies on this whole draft class who has yet to take a step on this NBA court and play NBA minutes yet and I really really want
To see him get that opportunity we’ve seen him called up plenty of times in the past and he just hasn’t been able to get his shot and hopefully reverse a you know slow starting team in the San Antonio sports not one of the greatest and having a little bit of injury
Problems with the Celtics tonight maybe he’ll get some run as you guys can see the Celtics posted this photo of Jordan Walsh all smiles as he’s back in Boston last night if we want to keep looking into this we can see that looking at the injury report ahead of San Antonio’s
Game tonight Keith Smith tweeted this out last night Drew holiday has a right elbow spray he’s questionable Chris dos porzingis with right knee inflammation is also questionable and Derek white with a left ankle sprain is also questionable ahead of tonight’s game now you’ve May me asking if Drew holiday and
Dereck white are out that’s not where Jordan Walsh is playing so how is he going to get some more playing time well I figure that if obviously Derek white and Drew holiday one of them is out the Celtics will have to Factor someone else into the starting lineup meaning Al
Horford will have to jump in or if christops porzingis is also out then a guy like Sam Hower will hop in make them lineup a little bit smaller JB might be playing a little bit more of the two guard pton Pritchard playing a little bit more so then we might see Jordan
Walsh actually playing at the four position in a decent role obviously with christop porzingis being out as possibly being out as well with some right knee inflammation that helps out the front Court depth Celtics obviously have kada they have cornette they have Horford they have porzingis with no porzingis
Just having Horford kayada cornette and Walsh there you have the possibility of seeing Jordan Walsh especially versus a very lackluster team in the San Antonio Spurs bottom of the Western Conference developing Victor we bayama they’re not looking to you know get out go out and win games obviously I’m sure they’d love
To beat the best team in the league in the Boston Celtics here tonight and to stop the Boston Celtics home record of 19 and but I’m sure that if the San Antonio Spurs lose this game it’s not going to be any heartbreak I’m sure that the Celtics will be very cautious with
Christops porzingis as well at this moment we have no update on christop porzingis injury but if christop porzingis was not to play versus the San Antonio Spurs today I would not be concerned as even though it would be cool to see him go against Victor W bayama in that cool matchup if the
Celtics want to keep him healthy and make that this team has the best chance of winning a championship resting christop porzingis versus a team that isn’t the greatest might be a smart move but let’s look at some quotes from some of Jordan Walsh’s uh teammates that have
Kind of sparked some interest we want to look at this uh tweet sorry from Noah dael this is from Derek white this on the Celtics Squad and he’s and she spoke with Dereck white about Jordan Walsh who’s back in Boston today and Derek white in this clip was talking about it
But he basically said that Jordan Walsh is a kid that I just wants to get better each and every day and always is asking questions and stuff like that it would be good to see him again even when he’s not with us he’s still a part of us and
That’s what you love to hear coming out of Derek white you know even though Jordan Walsh is part of this 15-man roster he is playing down he’s not on a two-way deal so he is part of this main uh main Celtics team and part of the
Main team as well but he does get sent down just to play and actually get some Rhythm because you know with the Celtics lineup they only usually run eight or nine guys on a normal night they’re not going to be running Jordan Walsh so Jordan Walsh goes down there gets his
Experience but when he comes back up he’s part of that team and even when he’s sent down he’s still part of this Celtics team and if we want to look at this uh treat as well from Noah Dalo really really getting in on all this Jordan Walsh news which is very very
Great for this video she caught up with Jordan Walsh’s g-league teammate NBA vet Tony Snow who until Isaac went to the g-league game I did not know was on the Boston Celtics but is a great g-league piece to have and he thinks Walsh could eventually be one of the best defenders
In the NBA he could be an excellent Elite Defender he’s gifted in that aspect and he could be a top first all defensive type of guy and that’s something you really love to hear Tony Snow obviously played in the NBA maybe not the greatest aades probably known
The most for you know having his 0000 game but Tony snow was a solid defender in the NBA and could hold his own so him recognizing this in Jordan Walsh is great to see I’ve also seen some tweets from some of the people covering the main Celtic main Celtics team and
They’ve talked about how Jordan Walsh has been exponentially great on defense Isaac saw him play in the g-league and talked about how he’s a little bit selfish on offense and needs to learn how to be a little bit better on that side of the ball but his defensive side
Of the ball is really really killer and if we want to look at Jordan Walsh’s g-league stats you guys can see averaging right around 15 points 6.3 total rebounds and 1.8 assists so he’s doing solid in the g-league and putting up some great numbers we’ve obviously
Seen some guys go down to the G League from the Celtics roster we saw Delano Banton go down a couple nights ago and he put up a whopping 28 points to help out the main Celtics but Jordan Walsh DJ Stewart even Drew Peterson have had some great looks on this g-league team and
They’re looking like they could be nice pieces for the future for this Celtics team if the Celtics want to keep in building through the G League like they did with Sam Hower but I’m very excited for this match up tonight as the Celtics will be taking on the San Antonio Spurs
Hopefully we get to see Jordan Walsh in tonight action and actually get them see him play in his first NBA game but I want to know your guys’ thoughts in com and opinions in the comment section down below so let me know what you guys think of this news rolling around Jordan Walsh
Do you guys think that he will suit up for the Boston Celtic and get his first playing time tonight or do you guys think he is just called up for the bench hopefully he will get his playing time I’m very excited to see him play I’ve been waiting to see Jordan Walsh play
Since media day when he gave us that great introduction he was the first guy to talk to Mark Deo he gave us a brilliant introduction to who he was how he wanted to dive for the ball be a tenacious Defender and be everything that the Boston Celtics want in a guy he
Embodies the Celtics culture and I can’t wait to see what he can do for this team eventually when he gets the opportunity in the future but let me know what you guys think in the comment section down below like I mentioned thank you guys so much for 3,000 subscribers and tuning
Into thise episode the Celtics take on the San Antonio Spurs tonight and hopefully we’ll keep their win record at 20 and 0 for their home stand thank you guys so much for listening to this episode of Celtics digest I’m Bruce VZ and I’ll catch you guys in the next one peace out

heard a lot of great things about him so seeing him play tonight is exciting.
Changes everything? He’s still so raw I e been paying attention to him in the g. He’s struggling to use his strength to get to the rack, his defense isn’t as great as advertised honestly, needs to play with more control on that end or he’ll be baited into fouls as well. He needs to bulk up and calm down. The 3 ball has been dropping tho. There are things to be excited about but he honestly isn’t ready for real minutes. If we get some me garbage time it will be fun to see him get nba reps so he knows what he really needs to work on and feels the pressure. Pp at the 1 JB at the 2, hause at the 3? Tatum at the 4 and Al at the 5 then I think u go kornet, oshae, Banton, svi or maybe Walsh. Idk what order or who actually makes it onto the court but I think that will be the starting lineup if they sit those questionable guys which I think they should do.
Hopefully oshae shows out tonight
what race is this guy Jordan Walsh? it is very hard to say. his scull is white. body little bit darker. but facial construction like a black man. very confusing.
When I first saw Jordan Walsh play my first thought was Reggie Lewis and I have not been disappointed thinking that.💚☘️#18
Great video man! I hope he becomes the man! Celtics need a Dawg he could fit that.
The game is in Boston
This literally changes nothing for Boston
Bring on Walsh
