Welcome home Lonnie, everything is on fire.
After being unable to find a home in the NBA after preseason, the Reading, PA native signed overseas where he thought he’d be spending the remainder of the year. About an hour before his escape clause expired, Walker signed with the Sixers.
Three days later, he played nine minutes, missed all three of his shots, and grabbed two rebounds in his debut with the team.
That game ended up being a 105-103 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. A game that saw Joel Embiid get benched for the fourth quarter and a Nic Claxton putback at the buzzer that sank any hope of this team pulling themselves out of this cursed season.
