The New York Knicks lost to the Boston Celtics 114-107 on Saturday.
Walker scored a season-high 29 points in 37 minutes in his first game in over a month.
Walker told reporters after the game that he should be playing.
He had a rough couple years because of injuries, but he feels like he's built for any situation.

He became a free agent after Oklahoma City bought out his contract after the Celtics traded him.

Walker's two-season tenure with the Celtics was a disappointment because of injuries. He averaged 19.9 points and 42.3 percent shooting from the field over the course of 99 games.

Walker was a free agent and chose to sign with the Knicks. Things didn't go well for him or the team when he was their primary point guard. He had just 3.1 assists per game in 18 starts, but he averaged 11.7 points on 41.3 percent three-point shooting.

The head coach told reporters that Walker was no longer going to be in New York's rotation and that Alec Burks would take his place.

I could be angry. Walker told reporters that he could be upset. There are some young guys who look up to me. I'm pretty sure they wanted to see how I dealt with the situation. Everyone on my team can be in that situation. Maybe I can be a role model.

The Knicks have six players in health and safety protocols, so Walker got the start. Rose had an ankle injury and was unable to play.

Even though the Knicks lost to the Celtics and are now four games under.500, Walker's effort in the game at least provides some optimism that things could turn around.
