Kemba Walker could play on minutes restriction on Tuesday, when the Boston Celtics host the Brooklyn Nets.

Walker has been sidelined since the All-Star Break, due to a knee injury. However, he has returned to practice and could play against the Nets.

If he is indeed cleared to return to the court, Walker will be on a minutes restriction, as A. Sherrod Blakely of NBC Sports Boston.

Walker joined the Celtics prior to the start of this season, signing a four-year, $141 million maximum contract in free agency.

He is averaging 21.8 points on 42.9 percent shooting from the field (38.8 percent from beyond the arc), 5.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 steal.
