Jabari Walker Injury News & Updates
Nov 26, 2025
Goes for nine points in loss
Walker totaled nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 144-103 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
While Philadelphia is dealing with injuries that have depleted the team's wing depth, Walker likely only saw the court for 21 minutes due to the blowout nature of the game. With Paul George (ankle) questionable to play Friday against the Nets, Walker is a candidate to see the court in meaningful minutes, but his role is uncertain until then.
Nov 20, 2025
Near double-double in loss
Walker registered nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Walker's role has been up and down this season, as he has spent time in the starting lineup but has also had games seeing the court for less than 10 minutes. Wednesday marked a season-high in minutes for Walker, primarily due to Paul George (knee) missing the first leg of Philadelphia's back-to-back, but with George set to return Thursday Walker will not play as much as a result.
Nov 8, 2025
Sliding to bench Saturday
Walker won't start in Saturday's game against the Raptors, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
The two-way player will slide to the bench in favor of Trendon Watford on Saturday. Over three regular-season appearances off the bench so far, Walker has averaged 4.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per contest.
Oct 31, 2025
Starting Friday
Walker will start in Friday's game against the Celtics, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The two-way player will get the starting nod in place of Justin Edwards. Over four regular-season appearances (one start) thus far, Walker has averaged 4.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per contest.
Oct 28, 2025
Sliding to bench Tuesday
Walker won't start in Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
With Justin Edwards getting the starting nod against Washington, Walker will retreat to the second unit. The two-way player is averaging 3.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game through three regular-season appearances (one start).
Oct 28, 2025
Modest statline in win
Walker posted four points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and a block across 14 minutes in Monday's 136-124 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Walker was elevated to the starting lineup with Dominick Barlow (elbow) out, but was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. Despite starting, Walker actually played less minutes than the previous two games when he came off the bench, but playing with the first unit indicates the coaching staff trust him to have a positive impact on games.
Oct 27, 2025
Draws start Monday
Walker is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Magic, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker will enter the starting lineup amid a wave of frontcourt injuries for the 76ers, including Dominick Barlow (elbow), who had started the previous two games at power forward. In Philadelphia's first two regular-season contests, Walker averaged 3.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 block in 17 minutes per game.
Oct 2, 2025
Logs 20 minutes off bench
Walker closed with nine points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and one block in 20 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Walker has a two-way contract with the 76ers, meaning he'll likely report to the G League's Delaware Blue Coats upon the conclusion of the preseason. That said, he should soak up meaningful frontcourt minutes for Philadelphia while Joel Embiid (knee) and Trendon Watford (hamstring) are on the shelf for exhibition play.
Jul 3, 2025
Signs two-way deal with Philly
Walker agreed to a two-way contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After spending his first three seasons in the NBA with the Trail Blazers, Walker will get a fresh start in Philadelphia. The 22-year-old forward played in 60 games for Portland during the 2024-25 regular season, averaging 5.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from beyond the arc, both career-high percentages.
Apr 14, 2025
Ends season in reserve role
Walker accumulated 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Despite Jerami Grant (knee) missing essentially the entire final quarter of the year, Walker made just one start in 2024-25, and it came back during December. The 2022 second-rounder is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and Walker figures to provide frontcourt depth to whichever team he lands with. Walker averaged just 8.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 16.5 minutes across his last 15 games of the regular season, but he shot a sizzling 61.5 percent from downtown during this period.
Apr 12, 2025
Logs team-high 19 points
Walker finished with 19 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 20 minutes during Friday's 103-86 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
With several Portland starters taking a seat, Walker took on a larger role in the rotation and logged his best scoring total since early March. The Colorado product should play a key role in the Trail Blazers' youth-based rebuild, which showed some promise in the closing weeks. Walker saw his seasonal averages plummet this season, as the addition of Deni Avdija kept Walker from breaking into the first unit.
Mar 23, 2025
Available to face Boston
Walker (concussion) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker will return from a four-game absence streak Sunday due to a concussion. The 22-year-old will likely receive significant playing time behind Donovan Clingan due to Deandre Ayton (calf) and Robert Williams (knee) being sidelined. Over his last five outings, Walker has averaged 9.0 points and 5.6 rebounds across 17.8 minutes per contest.
Mar 22, 2025
Questionable vs. Boston
Walker (concussion) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Walker has missed the last four games for the Trail Blazers with a concussion. If he's ruled out against the defending NBA champions on Sunday, the next opportunity for the 22-year-old to get back on the floor for Portland will be Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
Mar 20, 2025
Ruled out for Friday
Walker (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Walker will miss a fourth straight game for the Trail Blazers due to a concussion. The next opportunity for the 22-year-old forward to get back on the floor for Portland will be Sunday against the Celtics.
Mar 18, 2025
Out for Wednesday
Walker (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Memphis, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker will miss his third consecutive contest due to the league's concussion protocol. HIs next chance to play will come Friday against Denver. Kris Murray could see a bump in minutes due to Walker being sidelined.
Mar 17, 2025
Out again Monday
Walker (concussion) will not play Monday against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Walker has been in the concussion protocol since injuring his head during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. It's unclear if he'll be ready in time for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Mar 15, 2025
Not playing Sunday
Walker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Walker entered concussion protocol Friday after injuring his head during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. He'll have to clear the league's protocol before returning, with his next opportunity being Monday against the Wizards. Kris Murray and Robert Williams (knee) should see an increase to their minutes while Walker is sidelined.
Mar 14, 2025
Enters concussion protocol
Head coach Chauncey Billups said Friday that Walker is in the concussion protocol, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker exited Wednesday's loss to the Knicks early due to the head injury and didn't return. The Trail Blazers will likely provide an update on the 22-year-old's status Saturday, as the club prepares to face Toronto on Sunday. If Walker is ruled out, Kris Murray and Robert Williams could see a bump in minutes.
Mar 13, 2025
Won't return Wednesday
Walker is being evaluated for a concussion and has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Walker will finish the contest scoreless (0-1 3Pt) with two rebounds across 11 minutes. He'll have until Sunday to rest before the Trail Blazers take on the Raptors. While Walker is sidelined, look for Duop Reath and Kris Murray to pick up the slack.
Mar 9, 2025
Available Sunday
Walker (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons
ANALYSIS
Walker found himself on the injury report ahead of Sunday's contest with right hand soreness, but he will be able to play through the ailment. Walker has played 20-plus minutes in back-to-back games and figures to see a significant role once again, especially with Deni Avdija (quadriceps) out of the lineup.
Mar 8, 2025
Working through hand injury
Walker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to right hand soreness.
ANALYSIS
Walker has seen an uptick in playing time since the All-Star break, having averaged 9.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.9 steals over 18.1 minutes per game over his last eight outings. Duop Reath would stand to see increased work behind Donovan Clingan if Walker is unable to play Sunday.
Mar 5, 2025
Scores 22 points in loss
Walker notched 22 points (8-9 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-118 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Walker scored a season-high 22 points, playing a significant role after a combined 18 minutes over the previous two games. Much like last season, we could get to a point where Walker is playing consistent minutes down the stretch. At this stage, it appears he and Duop Reath are going to alternate as the primary backup behind Donovan Clingan, at least until their frontcourt is healthy.
Feb 23, 2025
Double-doubles in win
Walker produced 20 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Saturday's 141-88 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Walker had his best game of the season, recording his first double-double, revisiting the form we caught glimpses of last season. This game was over at half time, meaning Walker was able to see additional run down the stretch. While we shouldn't expect to see numbers like this moving forward, there is a chance he could step into a larger role as the season draws to a close, should the coaching staff opt to ease back on their starters.
Feb 13, 2025
Season-best performance
Walker logged 17 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals across 19 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 132-121 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
With Deandre Ayton (calf) and Jerami Grant (knee) both getting the night off, Walker seized an opportunity for a bigger role and set new season highs in points and boards. The third-year forward has struggled to win a consistent spot in the Blazers' frontcourt rotation, but with Ayton now set to miss at least four weeks and Grant having been sidelined for the last two games, Walker's minutes and production appear to be on the upswing.
Feb 3, 2025
Recalled to NBA
Portland recalled Walker from the G League's Rip City Remix on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Walker played 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-125 G League win over the Windy City Bulls, finishing with 26 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes. He's been an inconsistent part of the rotation at the NBA level, however.
Dec 15, 2024
Slotted to bench
Walker will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Walker will retreat to a bench role due to Donovan Clingan entering the starting lineup. Walker has not been much of a factor as far as the stats are concerned of late, averaging just 3.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances.
Dec 13, 2024
Starting vs. San Antonio
Walker will start Friday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker will get the nod at center due to the lack of depth in the Blazers frontcourt. Deandre Ayton (illness) and Robert Williams (not injury related) are out, while Donovan Clingan will operate under a minute restriction, so Walker is the next man up to start at the center position. Walker averages 3.0 points and 3.1 rebounds across 10.8 minutes per game this season. This will be his first start of the 2024-25 campaign.
Nov 28, 2024
Serves as backup center
Walker contributed two points (1-5 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 121-114 loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Walker spent time as the backup center, playing behind the returning Deandre Ayton. With the Trail Blazers very limited when it comes to frontcourt depth, it was Walker who played over Duop Reath whom many saw as the logical backup choice. It is unclear whether this may have been a matchup-based decision, meaning Reath could very well be back in the rotation against the Kings on Friday.
Nov 26, 2024
Season-high 23 minutes Monday
Walker notched nine points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 123-98 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Walker finished with 20-plus minutes for the first time this season. He also scored his second-highest mark of the year, with his season high of 15 points dating back to Oct. 28 against Sacramento. If Jerami Grant (knee) misses additional time, Walker could see a slight uptick in playing time off the bench.
Oct 29, 2024
Season-high points in loss
Walker amassed 15 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and six rebounds over 19 minutes during Monday's 111-98 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old finished as the club's third-highest scorer behind Deandre Ayton (20) and Scoot Henderson (18) in an efficient night from the field. Walker set his season high in minutes played and points scored Monday, and he is set to contribute double-digit minutes off the bench moving forward. The third-year forward has averaged 6.0 points and 4.3 rebounds across 14.5 minutes per game in four regular-season appearances.
Oct 22, 2024
Gets clearance for opener
Walker (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker missed back-to-back games to end the preseason schedule but has been cleared for game action ahead of the regular season. After a quiet rookie campaign, Walker averaged 23.6 minutes per game across 72 regular-season appearances (23 starts) last season.
Oct 19, 2024
Doesn't play Friday
Walker (ankle) didn't play in Friday's 124-86 preseason loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Walker missed his second straight preseason contest Friday due to right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old forward's next chance to suit up is Portland's regular-season opener against Golden State on Wednesday.
Oct 16, 2024
Tending to ankle soreness
Walker won't play in Wednesday's exhibition against Ratiopharm Ulm due to right ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Walker will miss his first preseason game Wednesday for what appears to be a minor ankle injury. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Jazz.
Sep 30, 2024
Ready for training camp
Portland general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Walker (knee) will be ready for training camp, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker missed the final game of the 2023-24 season due to left knee tendinitis, though it's likely that the franchise was just being cautious. Walker played a key role for the team, making 72 regular-season appearances with averages of 8.9 points and 7.1 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per game. Minutes won't be as easy to come by this time around, however, as Jerami Grant is healthy and the Trail Blazers added Deni Avdija.
Apr 14, 2024
Won't play Sunday
Walker (knee) is inactive Sunday versus Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Walker's second season will end with 72 appearances, in which the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 8.9 points and 7.1 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per night. His shooting remains a swing factor of his future viability to step into a larger role, as Walker connected on just 29.5 percent of 1.9 threes per game this season.
Apr 13, 2024
Unlikely to play Sunday
Walker (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Walker left Friday's game against the Rockets early due to a left knee injury, and it sounds like the Trail Blazers will play it safe for the season finale. With Walker expected to sit out, Justin Minaya is a candidate to step into a larger role.
Apr 12, 2024
Won't return Friday
Walker won't return to Friday's game against the Rockets due to a left knee injury. He finished with nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five rebounds in 14 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Trail Blazers didn't mention any specifics, and the severity of the issue is unclear. But given where Portland is in the standings, they won't be taking any chances. Justin Minaya could see additional minutes in the second half.
Apr 12, 2024
Logs 17/16 double-double
Walker amassed 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 100-92 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Walker has made the most of his starting role as the season draws to a close. He's recorded double-doubles in four of his last five games. The Colorado product's future with the Trail Blazers is an open question, as the team has a lot of money invested in Jerami Grant, who figures to return as a starter next season.
Apr 7, 2024
Nears 20 boards in double-double
Walker finished with 14 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 18 rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 124-107 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Walker led all players in Sunday's game in rebounds while ending two boards shy of the 20-rebound mark and finishing as one of two players with a double-double in a balanced performance. Walker has hauled in 18 or more rebounds in two games this season, both of which have occurred over the last two outings. He has now recorded a double-double in three straight contests.
Apr 5, 2024
Owns glass in double-double
Walker notched 11 points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes in Friday's 108-102 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Walker ended as one of five Portland players with a double-digit scoring mark while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total to go along with a trio of assists in a well-rounded double-double performance. Walker has recorded 13 or more boards in four games this season, including in two straight outings. He has now posted a double-double in nine contests.
Apr 4, 2024
Career-best night on glass
Walker posted 14 points (4-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 22 rebounds, two assists and one block in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 89-86 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 22 boards were a career high for Walker, who was making his third straight start since Toumani Camara (ribs) was ruled out for the rest of the season. The double-double was Walker's eighth of the season, and over 10 games since returning from a hip injury of his own, the second-year forward has averaged 10.1 points, 7.8 boards, 1.7 assists and 0.8 threes in 28.8 minutes a contest. Expect him to continue seeing big minutes for the Blazers over the final weeks.
Apr 2, 2024
Close to double-double in loss
Walker ended with 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 40 minutes during Monday's 104-103 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Walker is likely to see an uptick in playing time over the final two weeks of the season since the Blazers ruled out Toumani Camara (ribs) for the rest of the season, and this will be a good opportunity for Portland to assess whether Walker, the second-round pick of the 2022 NBA Draft has a place in the franchise's long-term future. Walker is averaging 8.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game in 17 starts this season.
Mar 29, 2024
Gets starting nod
Walker is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Heat, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker will replace Toumani Camara (ribs) in the starting lineup Friday. Walker is averaging 7.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in 28.3 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.
Mar 24, 2024
Supplies 15 points from bench
Walker had 15 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The door was open for Walker to produce with a slew of starters on the sidelines. The Colorado product figures to be a key part of Portland's rebuild as they take stock of the value remaining on the roster, and Walker's increased role this season is an encouraging sign for his future with the team. As the 2023-24 campaign winds down, Walker is a likely candidate for increased production.
Mar 17, 2024
Posts 10 points in return
Walker (hip) tallied 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds across 17 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 126-107 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Back in action after missing Portland's previous five games with right hip inflammation, Walker recaptured a role in the rotation and finished a minus-12 during his time on the court. The Trail Blazers were without Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Matisse Thybulle (ankle) on Saturday, so Walker may be more likely to see his playing time decline than increase if both injured players are able to return to action in the near future.
Mar 16, 2024
Good to go Saturday
Walker (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.
ANALYSIS
Walker was initially considered questionable, but his availability is a welcome sight for the Trail Blazers considering how many injuries they are dealing with. Walker does not have any restrictions to speak of despite returning from a five-game absence.
Mar 16, 2024
Upgraded to questionable
Walker (hip) is now listed as questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Walker was originally deemed doubtful for this contest, so he is seemingly trending in the right direction. He is looking to return from a five-game absence due to inflammation in his right hip. More clarity on the 21-year-old's status should come after he tests things out during pregame warmups.
Mar 15, 2024
Unlikely to play Saturday
Walker (hip) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Walker and Jerami Grant (hamstring) are doubtful, so there should be plenty of minutes available in Portland's frontcourt for Toumani Camara, Kris Murray, Duop Reath and Justin Minaya. If Walker is downgraded to out as expected, his next chance to suit up would come Monday in Chicago.
Mar 14, 2024
Won't play Thursday
Walker (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Thursday will mark the fifth straight game on the sidelines for Walker, and with Jerami Grant (hamstring) joining him on the inactive list, guys like Toumani Camara, Matisse Thybulle and Dalan Banton will get all the run they can handle. Walker's next chance to play will come Saturday in New Orleans.
Mar 13, 2024
Closing in on return
Head coach Chauncey Billups said Wednesday that Walker (hip) won't be out much longer, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker is sitting out a fourth straight contest Wednesday due to a strained right hip, but it appears he's getting closer to returning to the hardwood. Considering the Blazers are currently on the first leg of a back-to-back set, it's unlikely he'll be active Thursday. However, he could be back in action Saturday at New Orleans.
Mar 12, 2024
Another absence coming
Walker (hip) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Walker's absence streak will extend to four games Wednesday due to a left hip strain. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with the Knicks.
Mar 10, 2024
Out again Monday
Walker (hip) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Walker's absence will mark his third straight due to a right hip strain. His next chance to return and provide depth for Portland's frontcourt will come Wednesday versus the Hawks.
Mar 9, 2024
Remains sidelined
Walker (hip) is out for Saturday's game versus the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Walker will miss his second straight game Saturday due to a right hip contusion. Walker's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Boston.
Mar 8, 2024
Out Friday
Walker (hip) will be sidelined for Friday's matchup with the Rockets, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker was given a questionable tag heading into the night, but the Trail Blazers will ultimately err on the side of caution with him. With Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Deandre Ayton (hand) ruled out, Toumani Camara, Kris Murray, Duop Reah and Moses Brown project to be the main candidates for minutes in Portland's frontcourt. Walker's next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Toronto.
Mar 7, 2024
Iffy for Friday
Walker is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a right hip contusion.
ANALYSIS
Portland is still dealing with several injuries to their frontcourt. In addition to Walker, Deandre Ayton (hand) is doubtful and Jerami Grant (hamstring) is questionable. Walker has averaged 25.0 minutes across four March appearances with 12.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals.
Mar 6, 2024
Slides to second unit
Walker will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Walker made a spot start Monday and logged four points and eight rebounds across 28 minutes, but he'll rejoin the reserves with Jerami Grant healthy. In 41 games off the bench, Walker is averaging 8.4 points and 5.8 rebounds.
Mar 4, 2024
Gets chance with starters
Walker is starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Walker will draw his first start since Feb. 10 as the Blazers deal with a depleted frontcourt. The Colorado product is averaging 8.4 points and 7.0 rebounds over 27.8 minutes in his last five appearances as a starter.
Mar 3, 2024
Second consecutive double-double
Walker chipped in 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 107-100 overtime win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Walker notched his seventh double-double of the season Saturday, and perhaps surprisingly, this is the fourth time he has reached that feat while coming off the bench. The second-year big man out of Colorado has struggled with consistency in his sophomore season, but he's experiencing progress compared to his rookie year, and his season-long stats have also reflected that uptick in play. Walker is averaging 8.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game since the beginning of February.
Mar 2, 2024
Double-double off bench
Walker posted 19 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes off the bench during Friday's 122-92 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
With DeAndre Ayton (hand) sidelined, Walker saw his minutes and usage off the second unit creep up a bit, and he posted his first double-double in six games since moving to the bench. Toumani Camara has been hit and miss as the starting power forward in Walker's place, but coach Chauncey Billups may not be inclined to switch their roles back until Walker shows some more consistency.
Feb 23, 2024
Cleared to play Friday
Walker (ankle) is good to go for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a big boost for Portland, as Walker has been a key player on both ends for them in recent weeks. He's been trending down in fantasy basketball, however, as he's failed to score in double digits in 10 of his last 11 outings.
Feb 22, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Walker is questionable for Friday's game against Denver due to a right ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
This is a new issue for Walker, as he was healthy entering the All-Star break. Walker had been playing a ton of minutes for Portland since the new year, but his role did decrease in his last two games with an average of 20.5 minutes per game. If he's unavailable to play, Portland could turn to Kris Murray to soak up some minutes.
Feb 13, 2024
Moves to bench
Walker will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
With Anfernee Simons (ankle) and Scoot Henderson (foot) active, the Trail Blazers will utilize a smaller lineup with Toumani Camara replacing Walker in the first unit. Walker still figures to play a key role for Portland despite this move.
Feb 9, 2024
Double-double against Detroit
Walker posted 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 43 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward produced his fifth double-double of the season, although he needed a career-high workload to do it. Four of Walker's double-doubles have come in the last 14 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 9.6 points, 8.9 boards, 1.0 assists and 0.8 threes -- modest numbers, but enough to give the 2022 second-round pick some deep-league fantasy value.
Feb 8, 2024
Starting against Detroit
Walker (ankle) is in the starting lineup to face the Pistons on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Walker was listed as questionable for this game due to a right ankle sprain, but he will remain in the starting lineup here. Walker has started in each of Portland's last 12 games, averaging 8.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. It wouldn't be shocking if he experiences an uptick in usage due to the team's lack of frontcourt depth, as Duop Reath (knee) and Deandre Ayton (illness) are both out for this game.
Feb 7, 2024
Probable for Thursday
Walker (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Walker is dealing with a minor ankle issue, but it doesn't look like it'll keep him out of Thursday's game. Deandre Ayton is questionable, and if he's forced to the sidelines, that might translate to some additional minutes for Walker at the five-spot.
Jan 30, 2024
Pounds the glass again
Walker registered eight points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 130-104 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Walker has posted at least nine rebounds on four occasions since entering the starting lineup nine games ago. Averaging 30.2 minutes over that span, Walker's increased usage should allow his 21.0 percent defensive rebounding rate -- which ranks in the 76th percentile among forwards -- to yield fantasy relevant production in the rebounding column moving forward.
Jan 28, 2024
Good to go Sunday
Walker (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker found himself on the injury report with left knee soreness ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he will officially be available. Walker holds averages of 9.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 31.0 minutes per game over his last seven appearances.
Jan 27, 2024
Questionable Sunday
Walker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Walker has drawn seven consecutive starts for a shorthanded Blazers team, but he now finds himself on the injury report with a knee issue. Toumani Camara and Kris Murray are leading candidates to receive increased minutes if Walker is unable to go.
Jan 24, 2024
Double-doubles in loss
Walker logged 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 13 rebounds and one block in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 111-109 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
This was Walker's fourth double-double of the campaign. January has been the best stretch of basketball in Walker's career, and he's thriving as the starting power forward. In eight January games, Walker holds averages of 10.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 three-pointers.
Jan 20, 2024
Delivers double-double
Walker registered 13 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 41 minutes during Friday's 118-115 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Walker didn't have his best shooting performance, but he's been finding ways to produce even when he hasn't been particular efficient. Walker has started in Portland's last three games, scoring in double digits twice, and he also has two double-doubles over his last four outings. The uptick in minutes should also result in a boost to his fantasy upside, and he remains a player worth stashing in dynasty formats.
Jan 14, 2024
Draws start Sunday
Walker is starting Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
After Jerami Grant (illness) was a late scratch for Sunday's matchup, Walker will join the starting lineup for the first time this season. Walker returned from a four-game absence Friday against Minnesota and tallied 17 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and a steal in 32 minutes.
Jan 12, 2024
Leads off bench in return
Walker notched 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes in Friday's 116-93 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Walker returned after missing the last four games with left knee soreness, leading Portland in scoring and rebounds while adding a trio of assists in a double-double outing off the bench. Walker set a new season high in rebounds while notching his fourth double-double of the year.
Jan 12, 2024
Available to play
Walker (knee) is available to play in Friday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Walker's return will be a big boost to Portland after he missed the past four games with left knee soreness. With how shorthanded the Trail Blazers have been, Walker could see a healthy workload in his return to action.
Jan 12, 2024
Expected to play Friday
Walker (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Walker is expected to return to action Friday after missing Portland's previous four games with left knee soreness. If Walker is upgraded to available, he should continue to serve as one of the Trail Blazers' first forward options off the bench.
Jan 11, 2024
Won't play Thursday
Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Walker was questionable for Thursday's matchup due to left knee soreness, and he'll be forced to miss a fourth consecutive matchup. His next chance to return will be Friday against the Timberwolves, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready in time for that matchup.
Jan 10, 2024
Questionable for Thursday
Walker (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Walker has missed the last three games due to a sore left knee, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Thursday. If he's available and fully healthy, he could see slightly more playing time than usual since Deandre Ayton (knee) is considered doubtful.
Jan 9, 2024
Ruled out Tuesday
Walker (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker's absence streak will extend to three games Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with left knee soreness. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with the Thunder.
Jan 8, 2024
Considered questionable
Walker (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Walker is in danger of missing a third straight game due to knee soreness. Matisse Thybulle (foot) is also questionable, while Deandre Ayton (knee) is doubtful, so Portland's frontcourt may be shorthanded again.
Jan 7, 2024
Ruled out
Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker will miss a second straight game due to left knee soreness. Deandre Ayton (knee), Matisse Thybulle (foot) and Moses Brown (wrist) are also out, so Kris Murray, Ibou Badji and Rayan Rupert could play significant minutes versus Brooklyn.
Jan 6, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Walker (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Walker picked up his left knee injury Wednesday against the Mavericks and was held out of Friday's rematch. The questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day, but Portland will be hoping he can give it a go with Deandre Ayton (knee) ruled out once again. If Walker sits for a second straight game, the Blazers will likely rely on Toumani Camara, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle.
Jan 5, 2024
Will not play Friday
Walker (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.
ANALYSIS
Walker was initially listed as doubtful after he picked up his knee injury Wednesday versus Dallas, so it's not a surprise to see him ruled out. The Trail Blazers are already shorthanded in the frontcourt, so there could be a lot of opportunities for guys like Toumani Camara, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle.
Jan 4, 2024
Unlikely to play Friday
Walker (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Walker is expected to miss Friday's contest after suffering a left knee injury against Dallas on Wednesday. Toumani Camara, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle are candidates to receive increased minutes in his likely absence.
Jan 3, 2024
Won't return Wednesday
Walker has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to a left knee injury. He'll finish the contest with four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 17 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Walker started the second half in place of Ibou Badji, but exited the contest at the 8:58 mark and will not return. With the Trail Blazers already down Duop Reath due to ejection and Ibou Badji having five personal fouls, Portland will likely be forced to play small for the remainder of the contest. However, with the deficit nearly 30 with 2:30 left in the third, the Trail Blazers could empty their bench early. Walker's next chance to play will come Friday at Dallas.
Jan 2, 2024
Nearly double-doubles
Walker totaled 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes during Monday's 109-88 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Portland has been without Deandre Ayton (knee) for the past four games, and he didn't travel with the team for Wednesday's game against the Suns. Walker has really stepped up for the shorthanded Trail Blazers lately, and over his last four games he averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks in 26.7 minutes. During that stretch, Walker has been a ninth-round value in standard fantasy formats.
Dec 30, 2023
Sniffs double-double in win
Walker supplied 25 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 134-128 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Walker was outstanding off the bench for the Trail Blazers on Friday, finishing as one of the team's top scorers and coming up huge in the clutch when the Blazers needed him the most. This career-high 25-point outing also represented his 10th game with double-digit scoring figures in the season, and while he's trending in the right direction, his fantasy upside will be capped as long as he remains on a bench role.
Dec 29, 2023
Good to go Friday
Walker (finger) is good to go for Friday's game against the Spurs, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker jammed a finger during Thursday's game against the Spurs, but returned and finished with six points, nine rebounds, one steal and one block across 30 minutes. He's likely to see a healthy workload Friday with Portland shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Dec 29, 2023
Likely available Friday
Walker is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to a right thumb sprain.
ANALYSIS
Walker suffered the injury during Thursday's loss to San Antonio but returned to the game, finishing with six points, nine rebounds, a steal and a block in 30 minutes. With Portland shorthanded again, Walker should see a sizable role if cleared to suit up.
Dec 28, 2023
Returns to game
Walker (finger) has returned to Thursday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Walker left for the locker room for what appeared to be a jammed finger, but it appears that he's going to be fine.
Dec 28, 2023
Leaves game with finger issue
Walker left Thursday's game versus the Spurs with a finger issue and went to the locker room, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker appeared to jam a finger on his right hand and was consulting with a trainer on his way to the back. Hopefully he's able to carry on, as the Trail Blazers are already shorthanded.
Dec 27, 2023
Posts 17 points form bench
Walker had 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Portland's reserves came to play in Tuesday's win, as Walker and two other bench players outplayed others in the starting lineup. The blowout contributed to increased production from the bench, but Walker's totals are not surprising considering his recent results. Walker has scored in double-digits for five consecutive games, and the run also included a 24/11 double-double against the Wizards. Although an increase in minutes would cement his value, he's on the cusp of fantasy relevancy in deeper leagues.
Dec 1, 2023
Big night on glass
Walker supplied six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 103-95 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The dozen boards were a career high for Walker, but it's just the second time in 18 games this season he's reached double digits. The 2022 second-round pick isn't supplying consistent production yet, but he's played at least 14 minutes off the bench in 12 straight games as he helps fill in for Robert Williams (knee), averaging 8.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 threes in just 19.2 minutes a night. Should anything happen to remove Jerami Grant from the frontcourt picture, Walker's fantasy value could skyrocket.
Nov 23, 2023
Posts double-double off bench
Walker had 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Walker has been inconsistent for most of the season, but he's now scored in double figures in four of his last six appearances. He also posted double-digit rebounds for the first time this season Wednesday en route to the first double-double of his career. He's now averaging 7.9 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game to begin the year.
Nov 20, 2023
Posts 13 points in relief
Walker ended with 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 134-91 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
After the game got out of hand, Portland handed the keys to the bench, and Walker fared the best out of the group. If you exclude Walker's stat line, the bench produced only 23 points, which s lousy compared to the amount of court time they recorded. The Colorado product is already seeing a signficant uptick in his second season with the Trail Blazers, and he's come in handy as a second-unit support option for the injury-depleted starting lineup.
Nov 15, 2023
Approaches double-double in loss
Walker finished Tuesday's 115-99 loss to the Jazz with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one block and two steals in 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Walker saw an uptick in playing time during Tuesday's blowout loss and scored in double figures for the second time this year while also hauling in a season-high eight rebounds. The 21-year-old has played at least 15 minutes in four consecutive matchups, averaging 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 17.5 minutes per game.
Nov 6, 2023
Makes impact defensively
Walker ended Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Grizzlies with five points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Walker struggled from the field again but continues to be a solid source of rebounds and defensive production. Across seven appearances, the rookie is averaging 5.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 13.1 minutes per game. Walker may see increased playing time if Robert Williams, who left Sunday's game with a knee injury, is sidelined for an extended period.
Oct 25, 2023
Returns to bench
Walker isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's season opener against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker will be replaced by Jerami Grant in the starting lineup Wednesday. Walker made just 56 appearances for Portland last season but projects to be the team's backup power forward in 2023-24.
Oct 16, 2023
Staring preseason finale
Walker is starting Monday's preseason game against the Suns, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker draws the start at power forward in this one with the Blazers resting Jerami Grant. Walker will have a chance to solidify his role in the team's rotation with what figures to be a sizeable workload Monday evening.
Jul 15, 2023
Healthy, producing well in Vegas
Walker (knee) has suited up in all four of the Trail Blazers' Las Vegas Summer League games to date, averaging 12.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per contest while shooting 58.3 percent from the field.
ANALYSIS
Walker exited the Trail Blazers' April 9 season finale versus the Warriors due to a left knee strain, but the second-year forward received a clean bill of health heading into the summer. The Colorado product's $1.72 million salary for 2023-24 won't become fully guaranteed until next week, but based on how he's fared thus far in Las Vegas, Walker seems likely to retain his roster spot heading into training camp.
Apr 9, 2023
Won't return Sunday
Walker will not return to Sunday's game due to a left knee strain.
ANALYSIS
Walker will end his evening with nine points, three rebounds and two turnovers across 21 minutes. Portland's season is done, so Walker will have plenty of time to rest up and recover from this knee injury.
Apr 5, 2023
Scores season-high 16 points
Walker chipped in 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Walker popped for a season-high 16 points, notching his third double-digit performance over his past four games. During that stretch, the rookie second-round pick has averaged 11.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.5 minutes, and he figures to continue taking advantage of elevated playing time with multiple Trail Blazers shut down for the remainder of the regular season.
Apr 1, 2023
Another double-figure performance
Walker amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 20 minutes during Friday's 138-114 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Walker got hot from deep and connected on a season-high four triples en route to his second consecutive game in double figures. The rookie second-round pick has seen an increased role over the past five contests, posting 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 22.0 minutes during that stretch.
Mar 30, 2023
Scores 12 points off bench
Walker chipped in 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 120-80 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Walker played at least 20 minutes for the third time over his past four appearances and scored in double figures for the second time during that stretch. As long as Portland continues to have a long injury list, Walker should have plenty of opportunities off the bench during the final weeks of the regular season.
Mar 28, 2023
Plays 25 minutes off bench
Walker closed Monday's 124-90 loss to the Pelicans with seven points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With Portland banged up, Walker has found his way back into the rotation lately and saw a season-high 25 minutes Monday. Over his past three games, Walker has totaled 23 points, eight rebounds and three steals in 21.0 minutes per game.
Jan 7, 2023
Claims rotation spot
Walker finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes in Friday's 108-99 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Walker has logged double-digit minutes in four straight games and has effectively taken over as the Trail Blazers' backup power forward in place of Trendon Watford, who has been out of the rotation the past two contests. Though he's shown the ability to grab rebounds at a decent rate, Walker won't warrant much intrigue outside of deeper leagues unless an injury to Josh Hart of Jerami Grant opens up more playing time.
Dec 17, 2022
Double-digit minutes in loss
Walker supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Friday's 130-110 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Walker saw some extra minutes in Friday's loss, but failed to take advantage, missing all three of his shot attempts and producing no defensive stats. He can still be safely kept off fantasy rosters in almost all formats.
Nov 11, 2022
Playing small role
Walker closed Thursday's 106-95 win over New Orleans with four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in eight minutes.
ANALYSIS
Walker had seen double-digit minutes in his previous two appearances due to numerous injuries in the Trail Blazers' rotation, but that increased action subsided a bit in this one and could decrease further as the team gets healthier. The rookie's fantasy production is nothing to write home about, and he's well off the fantasy radar at this point.
