The Charlotte Bobcats drafted Walker in the first round of the 2011 draft. He had a standout career at the college basketball level, winning a national championship at UConn in 2011.
After eight years in Charlotte, the Boston Celtics acquired Walker in 2019.
He earned All-Star honors during his first season in Boston, but his overall tenure with the Celtics was plagued by injuries, and he was eventually traded in 2021.

Last year, Walker appeared in only nine games for the Mavericks.
He joins an AS Monaco team that is coming off an excellent season. The club advanced to the EuroLeague’s Final Four and defeated Metropolitans 92 to win the LNB Pro A title. San Antonio Spurs rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama played for Metropolitans 92 last season.
