In only his second season with the Spurs, Walker has quickly become a fan favorite not only for his explosive plays on the court, but his charitable efforts and work in the San Antonio community.
Walker and his Spurs teammates will resume the regular season this summer after the NBA temporarily suspended play in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
