Kemba Walker on Knee Injury - Out Until January
- 3 years ago
Kemba Walker is ready for some rest.
The Celtics point guard spoke today optimistic that time off will return him to his all star status, one day after the Celtics announced he would miss games into January in favor of a knee strengthening program. He hadn’t rested since joining the Celtics in July, 2019, between the FIBA World Cup, the regular season, the quarantine period in Charlotte and the NBA Bubble run that followed. Now, he’s not rushing back to the court.
“The way I felt the last couple of months, if I don’t feel that way, I’ll know I’m better,” Walker said. “I wasn’t myself, it didn’t feel good.”
The agreement with Danny Ainge and the Celtics medical staff follows a similar ramp-up period before the bubble in the summer, where Walker pushed to return. He said then he believed he could play comfortably, as Boston managed him through scrimmages and sat him for two regular season games. Walker appeared to loath sitting when Brad Stevens tried to steal him some rest during the playoffs. As his effectiveness waned later in the playoffs, Walker realized things weren’t right trying to make his typical dynamic movements.
