Kemba Walker will finally play, after missing three games in a row because of injury. He is expected to play on Friday in a game versus the Atlanta Hawks.

Unfortunately, Gordon Hayward will be out of this game with a left foot soreness.

NBA writer for ESPN Tim Bontemps tweeted: “Kemba Walker will play, but be on a minutes restriction. Marcus Smart will also play. Gordon Hayward, Daniel Theis and Jaylen Brown will all sit.”
