Celtics' Kemba Walker (knee) will start in season debut Sunday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker will start in the team's Sunday game against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Walker has been out all season long to this point, but he's making a return to the court on Sunday. In his season debut, he'll enter the starting five, according to Sean Grande of Boston Celtics Radio. This move presumably means Jeff Teague will revert to a role off the bench, though that hasn't been confirmed as of yet. Walker will be limited to roughly 20 minutes in his first action of the year.
Our models project Walker for 12.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 21.3 FanDuel points across 19.6 minutes of action.
