Knicks guard Kemba Walker will not be part of the team's rotation "as of right now," coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday.
Alec Burks, who started Saturday's 99–90 win over the Hawks, will remain the team's starter.
“It’s a tough decision to make. But you always have to do what you think is best for the team,” Thibodeau said, per the New York Post. “I’ve got great respect for who Kemba is as a person, number one, and all that he’s accomplished in this league . . . But I do what I think is best for the team.
