Why Jordan Walsh asked to spend his day off with the Maine Celtics

PORTLAND, MAINE — After the Celtics fell to the Grizzlies on Saturday night — their fifth game in seven nights — the players all looked forward to a highly-anticipated day off.

But, Jordan Walsh, who saw limited on-court minutes with Boston during that stretch, just wanted to play more basketball.

So, when he realized that the Maine Celtics’ Sunday game at the Portland Expo coincided with a day off for the parent club, he wanted to play. So far this season, after spending most of his rookie season in Portland, the second-year forward hasn’t spent a day in the G League.
