While he might not be the sort of leader who shouts things at his teammates on the court, it’s undeniable Boston Celtics veteran point guard Kemba Walker is still one of his team’s most important leaders nonetheless.
The New Yorker has been taking the team’s recent struggles to heart, and has put the burden on himself and fellow veterans to right the ship. In a game vs. the Indiana Pacers that saw him put up a season-high 32 points while helping coax the best out of his teammates with six complimentary assists, the UConn product looked like the sort of third star the Celtics will need on nights when Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum don’t have enough energy to carry the team.
And Friday’s win was definitely one of those nights.
