Kemba Walker Fantasy Stats

Dallas Mavericks guards Kemba Walker (knee) and Frank Ntilikina (knee) are both available to play Tuesday against the New York Knicks. Walker has been out due to injury management and head coach Jason Kidd said Walker will likely have his minutes managed moving forward. Ntilikina will return from a one-game absence after being upgraded from questionable with his own knee soreness. Both Walker and Ntilikina will back up star Luka Doncic and would need an injury to Doncic to have fantasy value.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Kemba Walker turned back the clock in Saturday's matchup against Cleveland and led all scorers with 32 points in a 100-99 overtime loss. He shot 12-for-25 from the field and had four makes from downtown with 13 attempts. Walker added five rebounds and seven assists to his line with one block and two turnovers in 42 minutes. The former All-Star showed that he can still ball out, but Luka Doncic (quadriceps) had the night off and Walker's role has been minuscule since he signed with the team on Nov. 28. With that said, it was a nice performance from him on Saturday and Doncic has started to get time off in back-to-back situations, so it might not be the last time we see him shine this season.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Kemba Walker will make his team debut on Saturday against Chicago, and he's expected to feature for 15-20 minutes. This will be his first taste of NBA action since February. Kemba finds himself in a good spot to make his Mavs debut, as Luka Doncic (quadriceps) sits out the game. He's been a fan favorite for many years, but Walker's career took a turn for the worst in 2021-22 and fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from him. It's actually crazy to think that Walker posted a Christmas Day triple-double only a year ago and a big 44-point performance preceded it. It's going to be intriguing to see how effective his play is going to be for Dallas.

The Knicks traded guard Kemba Walker to the Pistons on Thursday night as a part of a three-way trade with Charlotte. However, Walker isn't expected to remain in Detroit, with ESPN NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that both sides are already discussing a buyout. The 32-year-old has been a capable fantasy producer over the years. Yet, he's battled numerous injuries throughout his career and hasn't played an entire season since 2018-19. Nonetheless, Walker will likely see significant interest from clubs looking to add depth. Still, his days as a consistent fantasy option are probably over, although he should have some effective outings here and there in 2022-23.

New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker has agreed to sit out the remainder of the regular season. The All-Star guard is on an expiring deal and will use this time to work on a trade scenarios this offseason. Walker is averaging 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists in 37 games with the Knicks this season. Alec Burks, Quentin Grimes, and Derrick Rose (ankle) should all benefit with Walker done for the season. Burks is the best fantasy option out of the three, but Grimes has been on the rise lately. Fantasy managers can feel safe dropping Walker with him officially being ruled out for the rest of the season.

New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. Walker missed the first half of the back-to-back against the Jazz, indicating that his absence was likely a chance to give the 31-year-old a rest after coming off of an overtime loss. Walker should be back in the starting lineup and fantasy managers can start the point guard in deeper formats.

New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game vs. the Jazz. Walker's minutes total has been held in check (22.1 average) over his last eight contests, with just one such outing seeing him score in double figures. His absence stands to allow RJ Barrett and Alec Burks to take on elevated ball-handling duties, while Immanuel Quickley is in line for a minutes boost. While Walker enjoyed a tremendous three-game stretch just prior to Christmas, he has been held scoreless in two of his last three appearances, likely knocking him from season-long consideration in most formats. Fantasy managers can expect him back in the mix Tuesday against Denver.

New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Tuesday's contest vs. the Timberwolves. Walker rejoins the starting five out of the gate despite missing the past nine outings due to left knee soreness. New York had been operating with a combination of Alec Burks and RJ Barrett serving as the team's primary ballhandler, with Walker's return giving the team a consistent point guard. Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes are the two candidates to see their minutes total adversely affected by Walker's return. Prior to his injury, Walker had reestablished himself as a genuine season-long asset, having reeled off a 44-point outing and triple-double in back-to-back appearances.

New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Walker is currently not with the organization due to his left knee soreness. Although, it's a one-game road trip, so possibly Walker returns next game. His next chance to play would be Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Until then, Alec Burks and Evan Fournier will be asked to play more minutes. Fournier has been inconsistent this season, but has picked up the slack lately. Possibly, Fournier has some streaming appeal without Walker on the court here.

New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) will miss his seventh consecutive contest Wednesday vs. Dallas due to left knee soreness. The fact that Walker earned a questionable designation could be a hint into how close he is to returning, but Immanuel Quickley and Miles McBride figure to cover for him in the meantime. Walker's furious close to December highlighted his immense fantasy upside when healthy, with his recent knee issues flaring up at an inopportune time. His next chance to get back into action comes Saturday against the Hawks.
