Kemba Walker has officially retired from professional basketball. The former Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets guard spent last season playing for Monaco in the LNB Pro A league. Walker struggled with a degenerative knee injury throughout the final stages of his career.
Since announcing his retirement, the former All-Star guard has joined Charles Lee’s coaching staff on the Charlotte Hornets, where he will work as a player development coach. Walker spent eight seasons with the Hornets, averaging 19.8 points, 5.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, being named to three All-Star teams during his time with the franchise.
During a recent episode of “7 PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony and The Kid Mero,” Walker reflected on his tenure in the NBA and why his decision to move to Europe for a season was the right decision for him. He also discussed his time as an All-Star and his short-lived tenure with the New York Knicks.
