Kemba Walker Injury: Here’s Positive Update On Concussed Celtics Guard

The Boston Celtics and their fans can breathe signs of relief.

Here are some positive updates from the Celtics:

While a severe injury apparently has been ruled out, concussions are no less serious. It remains to be seen how much time, if any, Walker will miss.

The Celtics eventually suffered a 96-92 loss to finish their West Coast trip with a 2-3 record.
