New Boston Celtics wing Jordan Walsh hosted a Celtics basketball camp in Cambridge for a fully redesigned court grand opening at the city’s local community center on Monday afternoon.
The former University of Arkansas player dribbled, defended and talked to the children in attendance at his first camp since the Celtics picked him at No. 38 last week in the 2023 NBA draft.
“For these kids that have something like this,” Walsh said to the media at the event. “To have access to the Boston Celtics that means a lot. And it would mean a lot to me if I was a kid.”
The man with the 7-foot-2 wingspan and a predilection for diving after loose balls has a palpable buzz around his arrival in Boston, and it was evident at this event.
