Kemba Walker reportedly has no interest in New York homecoming
Kemba Walker appears to have crossed some free agent suitors off his list.
Mike Fisher of 247Sports reported on Tuesday that the All-Star guard, a New York native, has no interest in a homecoming to the state. That would figure to eliminate the New York Knicks as well as the Brooklyn Nets from the running for Walker.
The 29-year-old Walker, who has spent his entire NBA career thus far with the Charlotte Hornets, is hoping for a big payday this offseason now that he is off a deal that paid him just $48 million over the last four years. His career-high 25.6 points per game last season should obviously help him secure that much.
A somewhat surprising new Walker suitor just emerged this week, and now it seems that the competition for him has narrowed at least a little bit.
