Celtics Guard Kemba Walker Ruled Out Vs. Lakers With Sore Left Knee

The Boston Celtics take on their historic rival Sunday, but will have to do so without one of their star players.

Kemba Walker, who has not played since the All-Star break ended, officially was ruled out by the team for Boston’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center. The guard is dealing with a sore left knee.

Walker played 29 minutes in this year’s All-Star Game, but is adamant the heavy minutes are not linked to his injury. He dropped 20 points in the Celtics’ first meeting with the Lakers on Jan. 20 in Boston’s 139-107 win.
