Kemba Walker

Kemba Walker announced his retirement from the NBA.

Fantasy Impact

Walker made the announcement on his twitter. He last played with the Mavericks a couple of years ago. Walker entered the league with the Hornets where he played eight seasons. He posted his best season in 2018-19, averaging over 25 points per game with 5.9 assists.

The Mavericks waived Kemba Walker on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Walker's salary would have become guaranteed on Saturday. He had one big 32 point performance for Dallas. The veteran will look for another contract elsewhere.

Kemba Walker is now listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Walker played 42 minutes in one game on December 17, but otherwise his playing time hasn't been consistent enough to be reliable for fantasy managers. After missing the last two games, it will be worth monitoring to see if his minutes become more consistent.

Kemba Walker has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Walker is listed as out due to "left knee, injury recovery" which is also why he was ruled out on Sunday. His absence doesn't impact fantasy managers or the Mavericks rotation too much.

Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

Walker will miss Sunday's game as part of the injury management for his knee. It's unclear if he re-aggravated any part of his knee, but if he did, that could mean that he may miss some time beyond this game. Fantasy managers should continue to pay attention to news about the veteran guards and can expect Reggie Bullock to pick up some additional minutes in his absence.
