Boston Celtics: Cs & Knicks fans react to Kemba Walker’s return today
By Mark Nilon
The Boston Celtics are off to a great start to 2020-21 and look to be in the running for an even brighter future as Kemba Walker is set to return today.
Though the Boston Celtics reportedly pulled themselves out of talks to land James Harden in a blockbuster deal, today news broke that the team will still be adding another star to their 2020-21 active roster in point guard Kemba Walker.
Sidelined since October after undergoing a stem cell injection to his left knee, the All-NBA talent finds himself coming back to a team that is currently slotted into the first-seed in the Eastern Conference with a record of 8-3 and are tabbed as the second-best team in the league according to Bleacher Report’s latest power rankings.
The time of Walker’s return is quite fitting, as it somewhat mitigates the arrival of Harden in Brooklyn, as now there is yet another star baller available out east to help the Cs try to combat the firepower that the Nets possess.
With the news, fans took to Twitter to express their feelings about the return of Cardiac to Boston’s active roster. With this, excitement seemed to be radiating off the screen:

Knicks fans took to sharing their displeasure of the news, as they are currently on a four-game losing streak and, to make matters worse, are the first to be getting a taste of Walker this season.
