Jabari Walker News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Walker (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.

Impact 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.

MARCH 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to questionable Walker (hip) is now listed as questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Pelicans.

Impact 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.

MARCH 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Saturday Walker (hip) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact 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.

MARCH 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Walker (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Impact 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.

MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another absence coming Walker (hip) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact 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.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Monday Walker (hip) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Celtics.

Impact 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.

MARCH 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Walker (hip) is out for Saturday's game versus the Raptors.

Impact 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.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Walker (hip) will be sidelined for Friday's matchup with the Rockets, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact 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 Reath 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.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Friday Walker is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a right hip contusion.

Impact 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.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Slides to second unit Walker will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact 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.

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets chance with starters Walker is starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact 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.

MARCH 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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 Grizzlie...

Impact 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.

MARCH 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Friday Walker (ankle) is good to go for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Walker is questionable for Friday's game against Denver due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Walker will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Detroit Walker (ankle) is in the starting lineup to face the Pistons on Thursday.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Thursday Walker (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Sunday Walker (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Sunday Walker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to left knee soreness.

Impact 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.
