ANKARA (AA) – The New York Knicks acquired All-Star point guard Kemba Walker on Wednesday.

"Welcome back home, Kemba Walker! #NewYorkForever," the Knicks said on Twitter.

Walker, who was born in the Bronx, New York, was a four-time NBA All-Star in 2017-2020.

The Eastern Conference franchise said in a statement that it did not disclose the terms of Walker's deal.

"He's a tremendous talent whose skill and leadership will be a huge addition to our organization," Knicks President Leon Rose said.

Walker, 31, is a 10-year NBA veteran as he previously played for the Charlotte Hornets and the Boston Celtics.

The US point guard averaged 19.3 points, 4.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 43 games for the Celtics last season.

In June, the Oklahoma City Thunder acquired Walker from Boston but waived him on Aug. 6 without any reason.
