Kemba Walker kicked off his 32nd year on Sunday with a special shoutout from one of his biggest supporters.
Marissa, an Atlanta R&B artist who has been linked to the Knicks point guard for some time, celebrated Walker’s birthday over the weekend with a touching Instagram tribute.
“Happy Birthday My Love, there’s no one like you,” Marissa gushed, tagging Walker’s Instagram handle in the post.
Marissa’s post featured a collection of images of the couple, including a sweet shot of Walker holding his lady love’s hand as she puckered up for the camera.
This appears to be their first Instagram post together, according to Sideaction.com, which reported in November the two were an item.
Walker, a four-time NBA All-Star, signed with the Knicks in August, in what was something of a homecoming for the Bronx native. Months later, however, he was shut down for the season in February amid knee troubles.
With the Knicks now done for the year and looking ahead to the 2022-23 season, it’s unclear if he’ll be part of the roster.
Walker, a former first-round pick, spent the first eight years of his career in Charlotte before joining the Boston Celtics in 2019.
