It may be two years late, but Kemba Walker is coming home to New York at a time when he needed someone to believe in him.
The four-time All-Star battled with a nagging arthritic left knee as he was reduced to 43 games and missed the final two games of the Boston Celtics’ playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets. Soon after, he was dumped to the rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder along with this year’s 16h pick for Al Horford.
The Thunder flipped the Celtics’ 16th pick into two future first-round picks and tried to squeeze more out of Walker.
