The return of Derrick Rose, highly anticipated, and which it was hoped in New York that it would allow the Knicks to finish the season strong, is long overdue. We are even starting to wonder if we will see the former MVP before the end of the season. So another question arises: where is Kemba Walker? He was sidelined during the All-Star break in anticipation of D-Rose’s return.
Yesterday a journalist asked Tom Thibodeau where Walker was, and he’s not there.
“No, he’s left out of the team. It’s like that. He does his rehabilitation, he manages what he has to manage. » Thibodeau
He doesn’t work with the team’s trainers either.
“No, he’s left out of the team,” adds Thibs. “And that’s what was agreed. Our leaders and Kemba’s agent felt that was the best way to handle it. »
According to NY Post, Walker would train on the side of Charlotte, but also in New York. He would go back and forth between the two cities, his mother living in Charlotte. Another interesting information, the Hornets might well be a future destination for Walker, who is arguably the best player in franchise history. He has a 2-year, $18 million contract, but if the Knicks can’t trade him, we can think of a buyout and a return to North Carolina, where an additional point guard wouldn’t be. luxury.
It’s very far from being done, but it’s something to watch out for in the coming months.
