More on this storyline
Erik Slater: Jacque Vaughn said Lonnie Walker is still on a minutes restriction. Said he played Walker 25 minutes against Cleveland because it was the team’s only game during a week’s span. -via Twitter @erikslater_ / January 15, 2024
Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas each scored 26 points for the Nets, who matched their worst half of the season with 34 points in the first half and have lost 12 of 15. Lonnie Walker IV added 20 points. The Nets’ struggles kept the NBA from delivering much of a show in front of a crowd that included French soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé and former NBA stars Tony Parker and Joakim Noah. -via San Diego Union-Tribune / January 11, 2024
Walker — who did not score in six minutes of action on Friday — is now “feeling good,” he said, and hoping to be what the team has missed. But yes, the team’s struggles made it that much harder to be absent. “Absolutely. I just love to win,” Walker said at morning shootaround before making his return. “This game I’ve been playing all my life. … You’re part of an organization, you got your brothers and your teammates — one leg, no legs, no matter. You’re going to try and be on that court giving your all if there’s an opportunity to play. “So I’m just happy to be back. I’m blessed to be back. I’m just ready to go through war with my teammates.” -via New York Post / January 6, 2024
