Interesting piece in the POST speculating on the short and long term implications of stem cell treatments and what this might portent for the regressive aspects of Walker's knee condition.
https://nypost.com/2021/08/06/kemba-walkers-knee-injury-could-become-dicey-knicks-situation/Walker also could be subject to physicals before the official signing — examinations that Dr. Wellington Hsu, professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Northwestern University, recommends. Hsu has not treated Walker....Hsu said the stem-cell injections demonstrate severe wearing of the articular cartilage.Still see this as a reasonable roll of the dice. Kemba is a competitor and a charismatic presence on and off the court and in practice.
In any event, clearly, HELLO THIBS, we need to be prudent and judicious in his deployment and that of Derrick, taking advantage of the Rose & Walker's skill set and leadership, vis a vis the two year window we figure to have for them, both as competitors and mentors to our puppies.
PS: Utah proceeding very gingerly with Jared Butler, not wanting to expose him to summer league contact before they've had an opportunity to bring him along. Meanwhile, saw a few minutes of his back court mate Davion Mitchell, and he is quite a physical and spiritual dynamo. Not sure if Kings keep Hield. But a rotation based on Fox, Hield, Haliburton and Mitchell looks like big fun.
