Kemba Walker agrees to step aside for the rest of the season

This is weird, but that’s nothing new for Kemba Walker‘s story with the New York Knicks. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news that Walker and the Knicks agreed on a situation moving forward. The veteran point guard will step aside for the rest of the season.

The Knicks confirmed the news thereafter, complete with a statement from team president Leon Rose.

“We fully support Kemba’s decision to shut it down for the remainder of the season and to use this time to prepare for next season. His long-term success on the court remains our priority,” Rose said.
