Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Ejected in Summer League Game
LAS VEGAS, JUL 15 – Walsh was ejected after a hard foul and pushing Pelle Larsson, receiving two technical fouls, despite leading all scorers with 13 points in the game, Celtics officials said.
During Monday's second quarter, Jordan Walsh was tossed after receiving his second technical foul within seven seconds in Las Vegas.
After shoving Heat swingman Pelle Larsson into the front row of Celtics executives, tensions flared and Walsh picked up his second technical foul.
His first technical was assessed after a dust-up with Erik Stevenson on a finger-roll layup, then he pushed another Heat wing before being led off by Celtics personnel.
Following his ejection, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla sent a supportive message, 'I love this out of you', Walsh revealed in the locker room.
Facing the Lakers on Thursday, he gets another opportunity to solidify his Summer League standing, with his contract not fully guaranteed, Walsh returns Thursday against the Lakers, offering a fresh chance to prove his value.
