The Boston Celtics have made their first roster move of the season.
On Tuesday, the Celtics announced that they have assigned rookie guard Jordan Walsh to the Maine Celtics, the team’s G-League affiliate. Walsh, who has yet to make his NBA regular season debut, will likely receive plenty of opportunities to develop in Maine.
The Celtics selected Walsh with the 38th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft after making a myriad of trades that night. He developed a reputation for his energy and stellar defense — especially at the perimeter — while he played for the University of Arkansas, which was almost certainly a reason Boston made him the only new Celtic after the draft.
