If you are wondering what the vibe is at the Boston Celtics‘ training facility as they get ready for the 2023-24 NBA season, ask rookie Celtics wing Jordan Walsh. Speaking at a court refurbishment dedication event in Worcester, Walsh opened up about how early workouts had been going.
“(Head coach) Joe (Mazzulla) said it best (…),” he explained via CLNS Media. “Having (Jayson) Tatum and (Jaylen) Brown there, for them to set that foundation of hard work this early when they obviously don’t have to be here, but they choose to be here because they want to win a championship — to have them there to set that example for guys like me, first year in the league, it means a lot for sure.”

"Better spacing & a reliable kickout option in Kristaps Porzingis, that should really go a long way for Boston"
