Former All-Star Kemba Walker signs with A.S. Monaco

Four-time NBA All-Star Kemba Walker signed with A.S. Monaco of the EuroLeague and top French league LNB Pro A, the club announced Friday.

Walker played nine games for the Dallas Mavericks last season before being waived in January.

The 33-year-old has dealt with major knee injuries since 2020. He played in just 43 games for the Boston Celtics in the 2020-21 campaign following stem-cell treatments on his left knee.

After leading UConn to a national championship in 2011, Walker spent his first eight NBA seasons with the Charlotte Hornets.

He led Charlotte to two playoff appearances and earned All-NBA third-team honors in the 2018-19 campaign.
