Jabari Walker News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Likely available Friday Walker is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to a right thumb sprain.

Impact Walker suffered the injury during Thursday's loss to San Antonio but returned to the game, finishing with six points, nine rebounds, a steal and a block in 30 minutes. With Portland shorthanded again, Walker should see a sizable role if cleared to suit up.

Returns to game Walker (finger) has returned to Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Walker left for the locker room for what appeared to be a jammed finger, but it appears that he's going to be fine.

Leaves game with finger issue Walker left Thursday's game versus the Spurs with a finger issue and went to the locker room, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Walker appeared to jam a finger on his right hand and was consulting with a trainer on his way to the back. Hopefully he's able to carry on, as the Trail Blazers are already shorthanded.

Posts 17 points form bench Walker had 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 victory over the Kings.

Impact Portland's reserves came to play in Tuesday's win, as Walker and two other bench players outplayed others in the starting lineup. The blowout contributed to increased production from the bench, but Walker's totals are not surprising considering his recent results. Walker has scored in double-digits for five consecutive games, and the run also included a 24/11 double-double against the Wizards. Although an increase in minutes would cement his value, he's on the cusp of fantasy relevancy in deeper leagues.

Big night on glass Walker supplied six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 103-95 win over Cleveland.

Impact The dozen boards were a career high for Walker, but it's just the second time in 18 games this season he's reached double digits. The 2022 second-round pick isn't supplying consistent production yet, but he's played at least 14 minutes off the bench in 12 straight games as he helps fill in for Robert Williams (knee), averaging 8.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 threes in just 19.2 minutes a night. Should anything happen to remove Jerami Grant from the frontcourt picture, Walker's fantasy value could skyrocket.

Impact Walker has been inconsistent for most of the season, but he's now scored in double figures in four of his last six appearances. He also posted double-digit rebounds for the first time this season Wednesday en route to the first double-double of his career. He's now averaging 7.9 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game to begin the year.

Posts 13 points in relief Walker ended with 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 134-91 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact After the game got out of hand, Portland handed the keys to the bench, and Walker fared the best out of the group. If you exclude Walker's stat line, the bench produced only 23 points, which s lousy compared to the amount of court time they recorded. The Colorado product is already seeing a signficant uptick in his second season with the Trail Blazers, and he's come in handy as a second-unit support option for the injury-depleted starting lineup.

Approaches double-double in loss Walker finished Tuesday's 115-99 loss to the Jazz with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one block and two steals in 21 minutes.

Impact Walker saw an uptick in playing time during Tuesday's blowout loss and scored in double figures for the second time this year while also hauling in a season-high eight rebounds. The 21-year-old has played at least 15 minutes in four consecutive matchups, averaging 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 17.5 minutes per game.

Makes impact defensively Walker ended Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Grizzlies with five points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 16 minutes.

Impact Walker struggled from the field again but continues to be a solid source of rebounds and defensive production. Across seven appearances, the rookie is averaging 5.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 13.1 minutes per game. Walker may see increased playing time if Robert Williams, who left Sunday's game with a knee injury, is sidelined for an extended period.

Returns to bench Walker isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's season opener against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker will be replaced by Jerami Grant in the starting lineup Wednesday. Walker made just 56 appearances for Portland last season but projects to be the team's backup power forward in 2023-24.

Scores 12 points off bench Walker chipped in 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 120-80 loss to the Kings.

Impact Walker played at least 20 minutes for the third time over his past four appearances and scored in double figures for the second time during that stretch. As long as Portland continues to have a long injury list, Walker should have plenty of opportunities off the bench during the final weeks of the regular season.

Claims rotation spot Walker finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes in Friday's 108-99 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Walker has logged double-digit minutes in four straight games and has effectively taken over as the Trail Blazers' backup power forward in place of Trendon Watford, who has been out of the rotation the past two contests. Though he's shown the ability to grab rebounds at a decent rate, Walker won't warrant much intrigue outside of deeper leagues unless an injury to Josh Hart or Jerami Grant opens up more playing time.

Double-digit minutes in loss Walker supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Friday's 130-110 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Walker saw some extra minutes in Friday's loss, but failed to take advantage, missing all three of his shot attempts and producing no defensive stats. He can still be safely kept off fantasy rosters in almost all formats.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Playing small role Walker closed Thursday's 106-95 win over New Orleans with four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in eight minutes.

Impact Walker had seen double-digit minutes in his previous two appearances due to numerous injuries in the Trail Blazers' rotation, but that increased action subsided a bit in this one and could decrease further as the team gets healthier. The rookie's production is nothing to write home about, and he's well off the fantasy radar.
