Walker, in his first season as a starter for the Los Angeles Lakers alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, scored 18 points in his return to the AT&T Center, helping his team to a 105-94 victory over the Spurs. Entering free agency last summer, Walker thought there was more than a decent chance he would be returning to San Antonio.Instead, the Lakers offered Walker a one-year contract worth $6.4 million. The Spurs could have offered Walker a similar deal or better but did not.
In his return to the AT&T Center on Friday, Walker got emotional during a pregame tribute video played on the big screen above the court.
