The Celtics have agreed to sign forward Jordan Walsh to a three-year contract extension, according to reports from Chris Haynes of Amazon Prime and Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter links).
Charania pegs the value of the new deal at $15MM, while Haynes says it’ll be worth $16MM. Either way, it’ll take effect in 2027/28 after Walsh earns about $2.41MM this season in the final year of his first NBA contract. The new deal will run through the ’29/30 season.
Walsh didn’t play much as a rookie after being selected 38th overall in the 2023 draft out of Arkansas. However, he saw more action in his second season and then emerged as a consistent part of Boston’s rotation in his third year, averaging 17.8 minutes per game over the course of 68 regular season outings (25 starts) in 2025/26.
