“Rookie Jordan Walsh Makes First Start for Celtics in Regular-Season Finale Amid Top Players’ Absence; Svi Mykhailiuk’s Explosive Start Sets Tone Against Wizards”
In the Celtics’ regular-season finale against the Wizards, rookie wing Jordan Walsh earned his first career start as the team’s top six players were inactive. This game served as a preparatory opportunity for Walsh ahead of Monday’s crucial Game 3 of the G League Finals between Maine and the Oklahoma City Blue.
At the start of Sunday’s matchup, Svi Mykhailiuk immediately showcased his impact by sinking a three-pointer, executing a successful pass-fake to score on a drive, grabbing an offensive rebound, and finishing with a two-handed dunk off an alley-oop – all within the opening seven minutes of the game.
