According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the former Dallas Mavericks guard is focused on securing a spot in the NBA in the immediate future.

In 9 games with the Mavericks, Walker averaged 8 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists for the team on 42.1% shooting.

In his lone start for the Mavericks, Kemba scored 32 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists in a loss against theCleveland Cavaliers.

Milan's head coach Ettore Messina commented on the rumor yesterday, claiming it was a total hoax.

"There is nothing. I have no comment to make. He's a great player who's been struggling for physical reasons since the last year," the legendary specialist told the media after the game in the Italian Lega Basket. "Ask the Gazzetta who launched this novelty without even making a phone call to us. Evidently, they just read [about it] on Twitter and wrote an article."
