Monaco announced the news on their social media, saying that Walker signed a one-year deal. The financial terms of the agreement remain unknown.

Walker started his NBA career with the Charlotte Hornets in 2011 and went on to establish himself as a franchise cornerstone and a perennial All-Star player. The UConn product departed Charlotte in 2019 after the franchise didn’t want to sign him to a max contract and ended up joining the Boston Celtics in a sign-and-trade deal.

Walker had a successful start to his career as a Celtic, being selected as an All-Star in his first season with the franchise. However, a series of injuries caused him to only spend two years in Boston before embarking on underwhelming stints with the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics.

The 33-year-old played nine games with the Mavericks last season, averaging 8.0 points and 2.1 assists per game. He was released in January and remained a free agent since.

Walker will join Monaco as the club aims to retain its French Pro League title they won last season. They are also hoping to challenge for the EuroLeague title after finishing third this past season.

Reportedly, the Pistons made a decision with the upcoming deadline for setting the regular season roster. Without Walker, Detroit will come down to 15 guaranteed roster spots.

Kemba Walker will leave Detroit without actually suiting up for the Pistons. The 32-year-old joined the franchise in an NBA Draft trade from the New York Knicks in what was essentially turning out to be a salary dump deal. The Pistons took on the $9 million owed to Walker in 2022-23 and draft rights to Tigers’ Jalen Duren while sending a heavily-protected first-rounder to New York.

New York City native Kemba Walker signed with the Knicks ahead of the 2021-22 season following a contract buyout from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Walker was expected to aid the Knicks’ chances of returning to playoffs, but the move turned out to be a disaster. He only played 37 games, averaging a career-low 11.6 points, before he was removed from the rotation.

Walker is best known for his time with the Charlotte Hornets, where he spent the first eight seasons of his NBA career. He was a three-time All-Star with the Hornets and received one All-NBA Third-Team honor.

Boston Celtics used Hornets’ “cheapness” in their favor and jumped on the opportunity to give the 29-year-old All-Star a four-year, $140 million contract.

The decision to leave Charlotte wasn’t easy for Walker, as he stated multiple times in the past that he wanted to stick around and lead the team to success. Still, he says he has “no hard feeling” towards the Hornets as he begins his new adventure.

“They offered, but it just wasn’t an offer I could accept.” –  said Walker in an interview with the Charlotte Observer. “I guess that’s the (most) money that they had. I know they didn’t want to go over the (luxury) tax. Which I completely understand. It’s a business at the end of the day, and I respect the decision that they made. No hard feelings at all. I still love that organization and everything around it.”

“It was tough for me (to leave), and I know it was tough for them; for MJ (owner Michael Jordan) and Mitch to let me go. But at the end of the day you have to do tough things in life. It just happens.” – he added. 

Kemba Walker is coming off a career season that saw him average 25.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. He also earned his third straight All-Star appearance and first All-NBA honors.

Despite him playing at this kind of level, Hornets repeatedly failed to build a competitive team around Walker and to make a step forward in the East. By making him a low offer, it appears that Charlotte was ready to see him walk away and start to rebuild a process that will probably see them staying in the lottery for years to come.
