With reports coming out that the Boston Celtics will be without Kemba Walker to start the season, more opportunities will arise for players to receive extended play.

As the start of the 2020-21 season rapidly approaches, it appears the Boston Celtics will have to prepare for a lineup without Kemba Walker to kick things off.

According to recent reports from the franchise, Walker received a stem-cell injection in his left knee back in October and was placed on a 12-week strengthening program. Reports also added that the point guard will return to on-court activities in early December and that the Cs will “provide an update regarding his game availability” during the first week of January.
