Fresh on the news breaking that former Boston Celtics floor general Kemba Walker would be calling it quits as a player, news of the next step in his basketball career post-playing days is now coming into focus.
That phase, which he alluded to in his goodbye message shared on social media this past Tuesday (June 2) evening, reportedly consists of the University of Connecticut point guard legend making a leap to the other side of the clipboard. The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that after “retiring from a 12-year NBA career, four-time All-Star Kemba Walker is rejoining the Charlotte Hornets on new coach Charles Lee’s coaching staff as a player enhancement coach.”
Lee and Walker will join current Hornets and former Celtics forward Grant Williams as an active Charlotte player with Boston ties under a new ownership regime in a post-Michael Jordan era.
