Jabari Walker News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Sunday Walker is starting Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact 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.

Expected to play Friday Walker (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Walker (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Tuesday Walker (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

JANUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Considered questionable Walker (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact 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.

Ruled out Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Walker (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Friday Walker (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Friday Walker (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Mavericks.

Impact 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.

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...

Impact 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.

JANUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 Mavericks. 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.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.
