To win the 2020 championship in Orlando, the Boston Celtics are going to need point guard Kemba Walker to play like a superstar.

With that said, the Celtics are using a unique training approach to keep Walker healthy for the “bubble” games, which start on July 30. This plan involves not having Kemba participate in every practice:

Walker was dealing with discomfort in his left knee before the season was suspended in March. The former Charlotte Hornets star doesn't have any structural damage in his knee, but the Celtics want to play it safe with Walker since he's such a vital part of the team's offense.

Boston has already clinched a spot in the 2020 playoffs. The players will use the eight seeding games to get back in game shape and knock off the rust after such a lengthy hiatus. Expect Walker's load to be minimal in the seeding games so he can be as close to 100 percent for the playoffs.

The Celtics' eight seeding games have the team facing the Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers, Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards.

Prior to Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test, Walker was averaging 21.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists in his first season with the Celtics. The 29-year-old was also shooting 42.1 percent from the floor, 37.7 percent from beyond the arc and 86.7 percent from the free-throw line.

The Celtics are 43-21, good for third place in the Eastern Conference standings.
