A special guest attended the second day of Celtics training camp Wednesday afternoon.
St. Joseph men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun strolled onto the court, ready to greet Kemba Walker — one of his favorite players from his 26-year coaching tenure at UConn. Walker played three seasons of college ball for Calhoun, leading the Huskies to a national championship in 2011. The pair shared a brief embrace Wednesday before catching up on the sidelines.
Calhoun expressed nothing but excitement about Walker, Boston’s biggest acquisition this offseason. As Walker was making his decision during free agency, Calhoun said it was clear the three-time All-Star had no interest in returning to Charlotte.
