Thanks for the info OZ
I don't doubt Walker's commitment to his team, but his knee is apparently going to be a chronic issue the rest of his career. He has simply played a lot of basketball for a long time and his position and style creates wear and tear on his knees. So ................... he and the Celtics should have been smarter about the all-star game. I would have been a lot better with a brief starting appearance, 5 minutes and call it a day. I know he was voted a starter and maybe the league has some policy about all-star appearances, but his team, the Celtics, should be the priority. Stevens and medical staff need to rest him as much as possible the rest of his time in Boston, so he can be ready for the playoffs each season. I want to see the guy win a title here before he retires.
