Things have gone anything but according to plan for Kemba Walker this season. Since missing the beginning of the campaign rehabilitating his injured left knee, the four-time All-Star has returned to provide one of the least efficient stretches of his NBA career. While his lackluster performance has raised eyebrows and inspired panicked trade proposals from fans, Walker has made it clear he is far from worried.

According to Jay King of The Athletic, Walker told reporters that his lack of production has been merely the result of him still searching for his rhythm. He, however, clarified that his struggles had “nothing to do with his knee or anything like that.”

In his first 10 games back in the rotation since his return in mid-January, Walker only shot 34.0 percent from the field, including an anemic 30.0% from the three-point line. He also often struggled to gain separation against defenders when attacking off the dribble. With the Celtics in desperate need of another playmaker behind Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the team struggled to a 3-7 record with Walker back on the floor.

Walker though was able to rebound somewhat on Thursday in their rout of the Toronto Raptors. In 30 minutes, the former Connecticut standout compiled 21 points on only 12 field goals and converted 5-of-8 from deep. Boosted by their backcourt general's steady performance, the Celtics downed the Raptors to move two games back above .500.

If a lack of rhythm and playing time was, in fact, the root cause of Kemba Walker's recent struggles, then the Boston Celtics hope he's finally put them behind.
