NEW YORK – Kemba Walker bleeds New York basketball from his crossover dribble to his step-back jumper, but the two-time All-Star doubts he’ll ever return home as a player.



The 28-year-old guard was born in the Bronx and attended Rice High School before leading the UConn Huskies to the 2011 NCAA championship, including several highlight moments at Madison Square Garden.



Walker, who will earn $12 million this season before becoming an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2019, was asked if we could ever see himself in New York for a homecoming.



“As far as seeing me in New York, I doubt it,” Walker replied. “I’m a Hornet, and I’m planning on being a Hornet for a long time, so, yeah, I’m not sure about that (New York).”



Over the course of his career against the Knicks, his hometown team, Walker is averaging 20.5 points, 4.7 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and a 28.8 usage percentage.
