Hornets' Kemba Walker named to the All-Star Team to replace the injured Kristaps Porzingis
Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker has been named to the All-Star Team, and will replace Kristaps Porzingis, who is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
What It Means:
This season, Walker has averaged 22.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in 35.0 minutes a game. He was reportedly on the trade block, but it doesn't sound he ever came close to being moved at the deadline. This will be his second straight All-Star Game appearance.
In tonight's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Walker is projected for 37.9 FanDuel points in 35.3 minutes.
