Celtics' Kemba Walker (knee) ruled out for Saturday night

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker will not play on Saturday in the team's game against the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

Walker was said to be unlikely to play by head coach Brad Stevens earlier on Friday after the star point guard did not practice. And just a few hours later, Walker has been officially ruled out, marking his fifth straight game on the shelf. Marcus Smart will likely get another start running the point.

In 46 games this season, Walker has averaged 21.8 points and 36.6 FanDuel points.
