Kemba Walker reveals he almost signed with the Knicks instead of the Celtics

The Celtics almost fell out of luck in replacing Kyrie Irving last offseason.

Celtics star point guard Kemba Walker revealed on The Ringer’s “R2C2” podcast that he almost picked playing for the Knicks rather than the Celtics when he was a free agent in 2019.

“To be honest, yes. Yes. Very serious, very,” Walker said when he was asked if he seriously considered playing for the Knicks. “At one point – yes, very serious.”

Was there ever a chance @KembaWalker would play for the Knicks?

Yes!
