Kemba Walker is a four-time All-Star who has had a rough re-acclimation to the season after his return from injury. When he is fully at his peak, he is an electric scorer and an elite shot creator. That was not the case during the Boston Celtics’ recent matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, where Kemba Walker went 1-12 and then missed a game-winner. That is not the performance you want from your third stars, and many have criticized Walker for his performance.
Brad Stevens has come to the defense of Kemba Walker, and he has stated that the team is riding with Kemba Walker. Sometimes, it is best to let a player play out of his slump: the shooting will come eventually. Michael Scotto reported on the situation.

Brad Stevens has re-iterated the Boston Celtics’ commitment to Kemba Walker. We all know how good Walker can be when he is fully himself, and the Celtics will need that version of him. Everyone has bad nights from the field, and Walker is no different. After a long layoff from injury, a player needs more than 6 games to re-integrate and adjust to the pace of basketball at the NBA level. It makes sense that Walker would struggle early on. There have also been signs of life for Walker, as he had good games against the 76ers and the Cavaliers in recent memory.
Brad Stevens is right: more often than not, we see Kemba Score buckets on the basketball court. Hopefully, Walker can bounce back soon, and help the Boston Celtics win plenty of basketball games.
