Retiring Kemba Walker’s jersey is the easiest win handed on a platter for the new ownership group.
It will get done, no doubt. – 3:01 PM

More on this storyline
Four-time NBA All-Star Kemba Walker, who played last season in the EuroLeague with Monaco and turned 34 in May, announced Tuesday that he is “officially retiring from the game of basketball.” Walker was beloved everywhere he played and I personally will always appreciate how available Walker and Donovan Mitchell made themselves for interviews as members of the 2019 U.S. World Cup team that finished a humbling seventh place in China. Interviews were extremely uncomfortable for everyone on that team — which placed lower in a major tournament than any other previous USA Basketball squad comprised of NBA players — but Walker and Mitchell always stepped up to answer questions. -via marcstein.substack.com / July 3, 2024
NBA: Congrats on an amazing career, Kemba! 👏 -via Twitter / July 2, 2024
