Kemba Walker Reportedly Nearing Deal In Italy

Jan 14, 2023 9:01 AM

Four-time NBA All-Star Kemba Walker is reportedly near a deal to continue his career in Italy. Reports are Walker and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan have an agreement on a rest-of-season contract, pending medical tests.

Walker played in nine games with the Dallas Mavericks earlier this season. The 11-year veteran averaged 8.0 points and 2.1 assists in 16 minutes per game for the Mavs. This included a 32-point game in a one-point loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 17.

The former All-Star was waived in early-January before his contract with Dallas became fully guaranteed. With Milan, Walker would be helping to replace Kevin Pangos, who has been out with a knee injury since late-November. Pangos isn't expected to return until the end of February.
