Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla credited Jordan Walsh for taking the right steps to improve as a player this preseason.

After playing most of his regular starters in the Celtics’ first three preseason games, head coach Joe Mazzulla is giving that top unit a night off.

Luke Kornet has started three games this preseason in place of Horford and Mazzulla wouldn’t commit one way or another earlier this week whether Horford would start or remain in a bench role upon his return.
