Kemba Walker returned from his knee injury feeling pain free “for the first time in a long time,” comfortably progressing through his movements and making plays in the first quarter, with an early steal and assist, finishing with 9 points on 3-for-13 shooting. He turned the ball over five times and struggled from three, but made it around Mitchell Robinson for a layup and avoided an injury on a hip check by Nerlens Noel that sent him to the locker room. Walker didn’t play after, hitting his minutes limit, and said Noel simply knocked the wind out of him. He hopes his minute limit ends soon.
