Will start in season debut Walker is in the starting five for Friday's game versus Memphis.

Impact Walker will make his season debut against Memphis. He will take Blaise Keita's start in the starting lineup.

Targeting Friday debut Walker did not take the court in Thursday's 69-56 loss to Oklahoma but plans to make his season debut Friday against Memphis, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Walker has missed the first five games of the season for Nebraska due to undisclosed reasons, but he's now apparently ready to take the court. His return could mean fewer minutes for the likes of Blaise Keita, Wilhelm Breidenbach and Juwan Gary.

Set to make season debut Thursday Walker (undisclosed) will make his season debut Thursday, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Walker missed the first five games of the season, but he was deemed healthy enough to finally take the court against Oklahoma. His presence would be a big boost for Nebraska, as he averaged 9.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game across 26.2 minutes per game last season.

Not suiting up Thursday Walker (undisclosed) will not be available for Thursday's game against St. John's, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Walker has still yet to suit up for a game this season. He started every game he has played in for the last two seasons for Nebraska. Sunday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff is his next chance to play.

Won't play Thursday Walker (undisclosed) will not be available for Thursday's game against Omaha, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Walker's situation remains unknown besides for the fact that he's reportedly missing time due to "healthcare reasons." The team has not expanded on what is going on and no timeline for his potential debut has been revealed. Juwan Gary will get another start and figures to remain in that role as long as Walker is out.

Nebraska beats Maine 79-66 behind newcomers Griesel, Gary

Sam Griesel had 22 points and nine rebounds, Juwan Gary added 14 points and 11 boards, and Nebraska beat Maine 79-66 in a season opener

Seems likely to sit opener Walker (undisclosed) appears unlikely to suit up for Monday's season opener against Maine, Jimmy Watkins of the Omaha World-Herald reports.

Impact Walker's situation has largely been kept under wraps by the team, as the senior forward did not participate in Nebraska's exhibition due to what was only described as "healthcare reasons." When asked about Walker's status via Twitter, the team reporter only said "doubt we'll see him tonight" and wouldn't elaborate on anything beyond that. Any prospective absence for Walker is bad news for the Huskers, as he's the team's leading returning scorer at 9.5 ppg, in addition to a defense presence around the basket.

Mysteriously absent from exhibition Walker wasn't available for Sunday's exhibition matchup against Colorado due to "healthcare reasons," Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Coach Fred Hoiberg didn't elaborate any further on the issue and even implied that it would be up to Walker to disclose it if he wanted to. At best, this clouds Walker's status for the Nov. 7 season opener against Maine. The 6-9 senior forward was slated to be a starter and key contributor after averaging 9.5 points and 6.0 rebounds across 32 games (all starts) last season. In his stead, Keita Blaise started alongside Wilhelm Breidenback in the frontcourt, while Juwan Gary remained in a sixth-man role. Gary scored 11 points across 23 minutes, while Blaise was limited to two points in 12 minutes.

Scores 16 against Northwestern Walker recorded 16 points (4-5 FG, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 71-69 loss to Northwestern.

Impact Walker didn't have many looks from the floor Wednesday, but he converted 80 percent of his field-goal attempts while shooting 88.9 percent from the charity stripe in the narrow loss. He was a somewhat inconsistent contributor during his second season at Nebraska and averaged 9.5 points and 6.0 rebounds in 26.2 minutes per game while serving exclusively as a starter.
