Kemba Walker may have hung up his NBA sneakers, but he’s far from done with basketball.
The former Charlotte Hornets icon and four-time NBA All-Star has found a new summer gig—and it’s not behind a desk. Walker is officially returning to the court as part of the BIG3 league for the 2025 season, giving fans in the Queen City and beyond a fresh chance to witness his signature handles and clutch gene.
Walker’s connection to Charlotte runs deep. Drafted ninth overall in 2011 by the then-Bobcats, Walker spent eight electrifying seasons in the city, becoming the franchise’s all-time leader in points, field goals, and minutes played.
