What happened: Boston Celtics forward Jordan Walsh has agreed to a three-year, $15 million contract extension, according to ESPN. The franchise also exercised his $2.4 million option for the upcoming 2026-27 campaign.

Why it matters: The agreement locks in the 2023 second-round pick as part of the Boston Celtics' long-term developmental core. Securing cost-controlled talent remains a financial priority for the franchise to manage its salary cap.

By the numbers: Walsh appeared in 68 games during the 2025-26 regular season, averaging 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 17.8 minutes per contest while shooting 38.4 percent from three-point range.

What to watch: He will play the upcoming year on his rookie-scale option before the three-year extension takes effect.
