Does anyone know what is actually the issue and if it is a thing he has been dealing with for some time or just something that flared up. How worried should we be? His minutes are the lowest since his rookie year and 2.7 lower than last year. He also doesnt have any serious injury history right?

No point in playing Kemba more than 32.2 MPG anyways, considering the amount of fire power and offensive options that we have. I think this is more of a precaution. Walker's been generally one of the healthiest/durable PG's in the league, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Not really much useful info there. You always downplay stuff like that. I'd rather hear: he'd play if it were a playoff game than "some time in the near future".

Yeah, I’m worried.  I don’t know much about sports injuries, but something seems wrong here, and perhaps it is a chronic condition that will dog him for the rest of the season.

Kemba as the sixth man?

The NBA is for sure a grind, but that doesn't explain why Boston has been hit harder than many other teams. Especially considering they're the youngest team, or one of the youngest teams, seems like their bodies should be handling the stress better.
