Newly acquired Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier will start their New York Knicks career facing their old team.
The Knicks will host the Boston Celtics at the Garden on October 20 as part of the NBA’s Opening Week. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN at 7:30 pm ET.
Walker played for two seasons with the Celtics before he was shipped to Oklahoma City Thunder for Al Horford. Walker completed a buyout with the Thunder and joined his hometown team, Knicks, on a $18 million, two-year deal.
Fournier, on the other hand, arrived in New York via a sign-and-trade agreement with the Celtics.
