The Celtics have announced a roster move.
The Boston Celtics fell to the Memphis Grizzlies 127-121 on Saturday night, dropping just their fifth game all season. Now 19-5, the Celtics remain the second seed in the Eastern Conference, trailing the Cleveland Cavaliers by just two games.
This win improved the Grizzlies to 16-8 on the season which is tied with the Dallas Mavericks for the second-best mark in the Western Conference. Starting to get healthy, the Grizzlies are seeing a glimpse of what this team can be with Ja Morant and his supporting cast all in the mix. Injuries to Morant and others robbed Memphis of what could have been a special season last year, which makes this current run even more exciting.Following this loss to the Grizzlies, the Celtics announced a roster move. Per the team, both Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh have been sent to the G League.December 8, 2024
Neither player appeared in Saturday night’s loss to Memphis. Walsh has appeared in 16 games for the Celtics this season , and has averaged 8.8 minutes per contest. Scheierman has seen even less playing time at the NBA level, appearing in just five contests while averaging 6.8 minutes per game. The Celtics will not play again until Thursday when they face the Detroit Pistons. This is why it makes sense to send Scheierman and Walsh to the G League to get reps while the NBA team is off. The two players could presumably be recalled when Boston hosts Detroit on Thursday.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
