It looks like the Celtics will be load managing Kemba Walker’s knee for the rest of the regular season.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens told 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Zolak and Bertrand” on Wednesday that Walker will “probably” not play on the second night of back-to-backs for the regular season.
“We’ll keep his minutes down. I’m not going to play him in the mid-30s (minutes wise) at any point here in the near future,” Stevens said of the Celtics’ plan for Walker moving forward. “It’s all part of a plan that’s not only for the best interest of this team, but also in the best interest of his career here moving forward.
