The injury news on Kemba Walker appears to be positive so far.
Walker was taken off the court on a stretcher after running into teammate Semi Ojeleye during the second quarter of Boston’s 96-92 loss to the Denver Nuggets. There was speculation that he had a neck injury, but the Celtics said the point guard was diagnosed with concussion-like symptoms.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Walker did not suffer a significant injury.
