Last night Kemba Walker returned to the New York Knicks rotation, and responded by scoring 29 points with 6 rebounds and 3 assists against his former team, the Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n
After the game the point guard talked about his situation:<\/p>\n
(VIA The Athletic<\/a>)<\/p>\n “I want to play. I don\u2019t know what the future holds, but I do feel like I have a lot to give still”.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve just not played for what? Seven, eight, nine games? I don\u2019t know,\u201d he said. \u201cLike I said, I\u2019m a team-first (player), so whatever\u2019s asked of me, I\u2019m never going to argue anything. Just play my part. I get what the team needs me to give. Whether that\u2019s me not playing, being the first one up cheering, to me coming off the bench or me starting, it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI hate it. I want to play.\u201d<\/p>\n Kemba Walker has accepted his new role gracefully, but that doesn\u2019t mean any of the last three weeks have been familiar for him.<\/p>\n Story on Walker and what\u2019s next after a 29-point emergency start: https:\/\/t.co\/PaHhlu1NSI<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/cfPByRmlGY<\/a><\/p>\n — Fred Katz (@FredKatz) December 19, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
