Celtics' bench player Jordan Walsh wanted to make a 'statement' with his dunk in the Summer League win vs. the Lakers.

Walsh ended up with a team-high 17 points for the Celtics in the victory as the third-year forward bounced back from a first-half ejection in Monday’s loss to the Heat. He came back with a chip on his shoulder and admitted he was fueled even more by the Lakers’ tactics against him in the matchup.

LAS VEGAS – Jordan Walsh delivered 17 points to lead the Boston Celtics to an 87-78 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA 2K26 Summer League at Thomas and Mack Center on Thursday evening.
