BOSTON -- As Boston Celtics star Kemba Walker lay on the ground Friday night in Denver, he felt the same emotion his teammates and everyone else watching did: fear.
"It was a scary moment for myself," Walker said after Boston's shootaround Wednesday morning, before the Celtics faced the Brooklyn Nets at TD Garden. "When I was in the moment, it was pretty tough to be in, obviously. I know it was scary for everybody.
"It was tough, but thank God I'm OK."
Walker is returning to the court -- and starting -- against the Nets on Wednesday night for the first time since he ran headfirst into teammate Semi Ojeleye's midsection in the second quarter of Friday's loss in Denver.
