Sin City Celtics fall to Las Vegas Heat 99-88 despite strong debut from Boston rookie Jordan Walsh

Boston had a solid showing nearly from tip to buzzer with the ball club letting go of the rope late in the fourth quarter.

Jordan Walsh, the Boston Celtics‘ No. 38 pick of the 2023 NBA draft, had himself the sort of performance in Boston’s 99-88 loss to the Miami Heat in Las Vegas Summer League you want to see from a player the Celtics’ front office has high hopes for with a team-high 18 points on a sizzling 4-of-6 shooting from 3-point range.

Guard Jay Scrubb added another 17 points off of the bench, forward Justin Bean 13 points and 7 rebounds, and two way point guard JD Davison had himself a solid game as well with 14 points and 11 assists, the team’s only double-double.

The Sin City Celtics had a solid showing nearly from tip to buzzer with the ball club letting go of the rope late in the fourth quarter, falling to 0-1 in Las Vegas Summer League play with the loss to Miami.

Boston next plays the Washington Wizards at 7:30 pm ET on Sunday, July 9.
