Hero of the Lakers in the playoffs just a year and a half ago, Lonnie Walker must now start from scratch in the NBA, so much so that he has completely lost his place!
Not retained by the Celtics at the end of the training camphe is now forced to go to Europe to pursue his career, ESPN teaches us.
It is more precisely in Lithuania, on the side of Zalgiris Kaunasthat the 25-year-old player will develop in the coming weeks. Tracked by Real Madrid, he said he was ready to play in the G-League to stay in the United States, but he ultimately chose a more interesting option in terms of competitiveness.
Having passed through the Lakers, but also the Spurs and the Nets, Lonnie Walker IV will thus discover the Euroleague and he will rub shoulders in particular with Sylvain Francisco, Ignas Brazdeikis, Alen Smailagic and even Brady Manek in the land of Domantas Sabonis and Jonas Valanciunas.
Note that the 18th choice in the 2018 Draft still has a clause allowing him to return to the NBA at any time and he will have until February 18 to possibly activate it.
