Kemba Walker is reportedly going home as the New York City native has settled on a buyout with the Oklahoma City Thunder and upon clearing waivers will join the Knicks, per a report by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Walker, a four-time NBA All-Star, spent the past two seasons with the Boston Celtics before being traded to OKC in June.
His return home to NYC should be a pretty sweet one for Walker, who has had some big moments at Madison Square Garden.
Walker played his college ball at UConn and hit a memorable game-winner in the 2011 Big East Tournament that is still so fun to watch.

Walker went on to lead UConn to the Big East title that year and then a few weeks later they won the 2011 national championship. It was an incredible run of basketball by an incredible player.
Everyone on Twitter was talking about that shot following the news.
