The recent waiver of Lonnie Walker IV by the Boston Celtics has sparked interest among NBA fans regarding a potential reunion with the Los Angeles Lakers. After averaging 7.3 points in the preseason, Walker's release was primarily due to financial constraints for the Celtics, who faced significant luxury tax penalties.
Walker is remembered for his crucial contributions during the Lakers' 2022-23 playoff run, particularly his standout performance in Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors. With his scoring ability and experience, he could be a valuable addition to the Lakers as they assess their roster ahead of the new season.
While it's uncertain if the Lakers will pursue Walker, the prospect of him returning to the team is likely to excite both fans and the franchise, especially given his previous impact on the court.
