Jordan Walsh has shown promise during the Summer League, particularly in a recent game against the Lakers where he scored 17 points and played a key role in the team's victory. The Celtics have faced challenges in the offseason, such as injuries and trades, but Walsh's performance has brought a sense of optimism. He became the team's all-time leading Summer League scorer, surpassing Al Jefferson, and addressed the intensity of the matchup, calling out the aggressive tactics of the Lakers as motivating factors.
I really wanted to beat the Lakers bad. I wanted to make a statement real bad, so I decided to put some icing on the cake.
Super motivated. I was even more motivated when we came out and they were hitting me and pushing me, all type of dirty stuff.
Stay cool, calm play, let's win this game and be happy afterwards.
Walsh has played well and drawn praise from head coach Joe Mazzulla. On Thursday, he led the Celtics to a win over the rival Lakers, 87-78.
