Knicks’ Tom Thibodeau opens up about Kemba Walker’s health ahead of 2021-22 season

The New York Knicks are just several weeks away from the start of training camp, and with expectations rising after a successful 2020-21 season, the front office is feeling the pressure.

Despite increased expectations, the Knicks made several progressive moves to help facilitate more scoring this upcoming year, signing Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker to fill two spots of weakness. Replacing Reggie Bullock and Elfrid Payton, the Knicks used some of their salary space to increase their probability of victory after surprisingly landing the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference last year.

The addition of Walker specifically should provide more production at the point guard spot, which represented a massive weakness outside of Derrick Rose.
