Forward Jordan Walsh agreed to a three-year, $15 million contract extension with the Boston Celtics through the 2029-30 season, according to ESPN.
The Celtics picked up Walsh's $2.4 million option for the 2026-27 season before adding three additional years to the deal. The extension represents Boston's bet on the 6-foot-6 forward, who was drafted in the second round in 2023.
Last season, Walsh averaged career highs of 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds across 68 games, including 25 starts. His shooting percentage from beyond the arc improved markedly to 38 percent, a significant jump from the 27 percent he shot in his first two seasons with the club, per ESPN.
The extension comes as the Celtics sent All-Star Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George this summer, reshaping their core. Walsh's continued growth on the perimeter provides depth in Boston's revised rotation.

Walsh's extension locks in a third-year option at a below-market rate for a young wing showing improved shooting consistency. Watch whether his three-point shooting holds at elevated levels in the coming season as Boston integrates George into the lineup.
