Celtics Reportedly Signing Wing to Team-Friendly Contract Extension

On Wednesday, the Boston Celtics secured forward Jordan Walsh with a three-year contract extension valued between $15 million and $16 million, keeping him through 2029-30.
Walsh earned the extension after a breakout 2025-26 season where he averaged 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 68 games, establishing himself as a key rotation player.
Offensive growth fueled the decision, as Walsh shot 50.9% from the field and 38.4% from 3-point range, a marked improvement from his first two seasons when he shot just 27% from deep.
This move follows extensions for center Neemias Queta and guard Ron Harper Jr. as president of basketball operations Brad Stevens reshapes the roster around Jayson Tatum, entering his first full season post-Achilles surgery.
Though seeking an expanded offensive role, Walsh competes for minutes in a crowded wing rotation featuring Paul George and Baylor Scheierman, with defensive versatility remaining his primary value to head coach Joe Mazzulla.
