The Arbella Early Edition crew discuss Derrick White’s four-year extension and why it was critical move for the Celtics this offseason
Kemba Walker's fantastic basketball career came to an end Tuesday when he officially announced his retirement.
Walker was a tremendous player at UConn, leading the Huskies on a few memorable NCAA Tournament runs, including a championship in 2011. He was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft and went on to have a fantastic pro career spanning 12 seasons and including four All-Star appearances.
Walker played two seasons for the Boston Celtics beginning in the 2019-20 campaign. Not only was Walker a very good scorer for the Celtics, he provided excellent leadership and stability at a key time for the franchise following the disastrous 2018-19 campaign.
