Not playing Sunday Walker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Available Sunday Walker (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons

Impact 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.

MARCH 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Working through hand injury Walker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to right hand soreness.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Sharpe scores 25 and Trail Blazers win 4th straight, 121-102 over Nets

Shaedon Sharpe scored 25 points, Dalano Banton had 14 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, and the Portland Trail Blazers cruised to a 121-102 victory over the Brooklyn Nets

MARCH 1, 2025 • Associated Press

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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to NBA Portland recalled Walker from the G League's Rip City Remix on Monday.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slotted to bench Walker will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. San Antonio Walker will start Friday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets clearance for opener Walker (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play Friday Walker (ankle) didn't play in Friday's 124-86 preseason loss to the Jazz.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to ankle soreness Walker won't play in Wednesday's exhibition against Ratiopharm Ulm due to right ankle soreness.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Walker (knee) is inactive Sunday versus Sacramento.

Impact 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.

APRIL 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Sunday Walker (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact 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.
