Kemba Walker News
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.
