Kemba Walker bid a temporary to the NBA world this July as he signed to play for AS Monaco in France as part of the Euro League club. The four-time NBA star played in the top-notch clubs in the NBA and has had incredible exploits in his 12-year career. He played for the Dallas Mavericks until January but the health issues weighed heavily on his performance. He played nine games only and didn’t perform well enough, so he was eventually waived off.
Later, franchises didn’t show interest in trading him and as doors closed in the USA, he found a home in Europe. Recently, Walker talked about how welcoming Europe has been to him.
How Kemba Walker is finding the European basketball
Kemba made his debut with AS Monaco on October 18 against Crevena Zvezda. He played for 10 minutes and scored 2 points. In an interview, Kemba described his European experience in a positive tone. He talked highly about his teammates, his coaching staff, and the traveling experience. Walker shared, “I’m in a great place in Monaco. I’m traveling the world. I’m getting to see Europe. Different parts of Europe. Who would have thought I will be in Lithuania? I’m having a great time. I’m around great people. That is all I can really ask for.”
Will Kemba return to the NBA?
His fans might want him back to be on the NBA hardwood, but that seems unlikely. Kemba’s peak performances came for the Hornets, where he averaged 25.6 points per game. Later, the 12-year veteran began slowing down. His Celtics record stands at 19.3 points per game. As his knee issues began aggravating, he averaged 11.6 points for the Knicks and 8.0 points for the Mavericks.
