In a 139-89 win against the Philadelphia 76ers, he had nine points, four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block in 25 minutes.
He averaged 9.7 points a game and shot 38% on three-pointers in 58 games for the Brooklyn Nets last season.
In 2017, Walker led Reading High to its first state basketball championship with a 64-60 win over Pine-Richland. He had 22 points, eight rebounds, four steals, and three assists in the game.
He was the Pennsylvania Basketball Player of the Year his senior year and a McDonald’s High School All-American.

He played for the Spurs from 2018-2022 and then with the Los Angeles Lakers for one season before going to Brooklyn last year.
