Lonnie Walker IV‘s situation is surprising. After spending the summer with Boston and seemingly convincing Joe Mazzulla, the 25-year-old forward was fired by the Celtics and later decided to sign with Zalgiris Kaunas of Lithuania. Well, if anyone thought that his journey in the 2024-25 campaign ended there, then he was wrong.
According to Marc Stein, the Denver Nuggets would be interested in adding Walker IV, who included a clause in the agreement signed with the European team that allows the player to leave if he receives a call from the team before February 18, 2025 NBA receives ; That means those who see him as a possible signing will have time to see him play and analyze whether he adapts to their needs.
The fact that Lonnie Walker IV no longer has a place in the NBA is somewhat surprising. Since arriving with the No. 19 pick in the 2018 draft, he had made good progress that had resulted in him getting good minutes on every team he played for. His best performance came in the 2021-22 season when he averaged 2.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 23 assists in 12.2 minutes per night with the San Antonio Spurs. In his last game, 2023-24, he played for the Brooklyn Nets and scored 9.7 points per game.
