Sam Walters - College Basketball News & Rumors

Sits Wednesday after all Walters (undisclosed) did not take the court in Wednesday's 77-76 victory over Virginia Tech.

Impact Walters missed Saturday's game against Duke with an undisclosed injury, and while he wasn't listed with an injury on the availability report Wednesday, the junior forward did not end up taking the court. Walters averages less than 10 minutes per contest anyway, and with the improved recent play of freshman center Jaden Toombs, the absence of Walters may not be health-related. His next chance to take the court will be Saturday against Virginia.
