Knicks' Kemba Walker: Starting Tuesday

Walker (knee) will start Tuesday against the Timberwolves, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Walker has missed the past nine games with left knee soreness, and he's feeling good enough to start after testing things out in pregame warmups. His return could mean fewer minutes for Immanuel Quickley, Alec Burks, Evan Fournier and Quentin Grimes. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if Walker saw a less-than-full complement of minutes.
