Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker said Thursday he’s fully healed, following May surgery on his left knee to repair a torn meniscus.
That means Walker is still considering playing in an NBA-sponsored exhibition in South Africa Saturday.
Walker has been in Johannesburg this week, as part of the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders effort. Walker and Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki were named captains for the World Team that will play a team of NBA players with ties to Africa at Ticketpro Dome (11 a.m. EDT on ESPN2).
Walker wasn’t expected to play, but he’s holding open the possibility of suiting up.
