It also appears they have a plan in place to replace him.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Celtics are the frontrunners to land Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker once free agency opens June 30th.
This is after reports by The Athletic’s Shams Charania that contract talks between the Hornets and Walker have hit a “stalemate.”
