NEW YORK — The homecoming is officially over. And it was a dud.
Kemba Walker shut himself down for remainder of the Knicks season as both sides push for a relocation, sources confirmed Wednesday.
Walker, the Bronx-bred 33-year-old, has struggled since agreeing to a two-year, $18 million deal and would’ve seen his minutes further cut once Derrick Rose returns from ankle surgery. It’s unlikely that the Knicks and Walker, who is dealing with the ups and downs of an arthritic knee, will agree to a buyout before the March 1 deadline, meaning he’ll enter next season on an expiring contract.
