Walsh (ribs) is available for Thursday's game versus the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday despite dealing with a left rib contusion. With Jayson Tatum (knee), Sam Hauser (adductor) and Jaden Springer (illness) all out against Detroit, Walsh could receive increased playing time.

Walsh is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit due to a left rib contusion.

EDGE Analysis

The 20-year-old hasn't played in either of Boston's last two games, but he may have picked up the injury during his 29-minute appearance Monday for the G League's Maine Celtics. Though Walsh is now back with the parent club, the injury could prevent him from suiting up Thursday. His status won't have fantasy implications, as Walsh has typically found himself outside of Boston's rotation this season.

Boston recalled Walsh from the G League's Maine Celtics on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh played in the Maine Celtics' 109-108 loss to the Greensboro Swarm on Sunday, notching 20 points (8-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 29 minutes. However, he's not expected to crack Boston's rotation anytime soon.

Boston assigned Walsh to the G League Maine Celtics on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh made his first start of the 2024-25 regular season against the Heat on Dec. 2, but he has not played in each of the Celtics' last two games and will head to the G League along with Baylor Scheierman to get some additional playing time. Walsh played in 27 regular-season games for the Maine Celtics last season and averaged 14.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 29.8 minutes per game.

Walsh is not starting Wednesday against the Pistons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Walsh is back on the bench after making a spot start in the win over the Heat on Monday. Walsh is averaging just 1.5 points and 0.9 rebounds per game off the bench this season, so he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal.

Walsh is starting Monday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh will draw his first start of the season after barely cracking the rotation for the first month of the NBA season. He'll draw the start at small forward while Derrick White mans point guard -- due to the absence of Jrue Holiday (knee) -- and Jaylen Brown shifts to shooting guard.

Walsh never saw the floor in Tuesday's 120-117 home win over the formerly undefeated Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year pro now has three DNP-Coach's Decisions for the young season. Granted, Boston has a loaded roster, which will only get deeper when Kristaps Porzingis (foot) returns in December or January. Walsh might need some trips to the G League Maine Celtics to enjoy some extended run and remain ready to go for Boston. The 20-year-old Walsh has averaged nine minutes per contest when he does play. His next chance to see the floor occurs Friday at Washington.

Walsh accumulated two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one block and two steals over 19 minutes during Monday's 123-93 victory over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With Jaylen Brown (hip) sidelined and Monday's game turning into a blowout, Walsh was afforded extra run versus the Hawks. The defensive-minded forward is a nice depth piece for the Celtics, but his path to substantial playing time is thoroughly crowded.

Walsh will come off the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

After resting their starters Sunday against Toronto, the Celtics will be close to full strength Tuesday evening. Walsh has made a strong impression in the preseason so far, averaging 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 three-pointers across four games.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh will be the beneficiary of Boston resting the majority of their key players for the second half of a back-to-back set. Walsh played well in his previous preseason appearance, posting 11 points, two rebounds and an assist in 12 minutes of action Saturday.
