Celtics guard Kemba Walker will be out until at least January after receiving a stem cell injection in his knee, the team announced on Tuesday.
Walker received the injection in October after the conclusion of the 2019-20 season. He is expected to begin on-court activity in early December, though his exact return to game action has yet to be announced.
Walker averaged 20.4 points per game in 2019-20, his first year with the Celtics, but he struggled in the NBA bubble as he battled knee issues. Walker shot just 42.6% from the field in the postseason, struggling to find his All-Star form as the Celtics lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals.
