Getting start vs. Orlando Walker will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Magic, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Solid display in 15 minutes Walker provided 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and three rebounds over 15 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Walker made the most of his cameo off the bench in this win, missing just one of his seven shots from the field and bringing energy on the glass as well. The Pacers will rest most of their starters in the second leg of a back-to-back set Friday against the Magic, so Walker is among the players who could end up having a sizable bump in minutes as a result.

Efficient performance Sunday Walker totaled 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 125-120 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Obi Toppin got the start at power forward with Pascal Siakam (elbow) sidelined, but Walker took advantage of an uptick in minutes off the bench and delivered a decent output. Walker has experienced an uptick in minutes of late, playing at least 20 minutes in five of his last six appearances off the bench. and he's scored in double digits five times over that stretch.

Fares well off bench Walker ended with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 111-109 win over Sacramento.

Impact Myles Turner (illness) missed Monday's game, but he's considered day-to-day. Thomas Bryant drew the start in Turner's place, but Walker made a much bigger impact in the same amount of minutes (22). For now, it's unclear if Turner will be ready for Wednesday's game against Charlotte.

Solid output off bench Thursday Walker amassed 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 25 minutes during Thursday's 162-109 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Walker was one of several bench players who made the most of the extended playing time in this 53-point win for the Pacers, and he finished with a solid line in his 25-minute cameo. Don't expect Walker to produce at this rate on a regular basis, though. He's going to see decent minutes as a steady member of the second unit, but he's not likely to produce at a high level in most games. He's averaging only 5.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Not starting Wednesday Walker is not starting for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact As expected, Walker will return to his regular bench role since the Pacers will start their regular pairing of Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner in the frontcourt. Walker is averaging just 3.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 11.1 minutes over 10 games since the All-Star break.

Good to go against Dallas Walker (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact Despite dealing with a sprained right ankle, Walker is good to go Wednesday but will likely revert back to the bench in the return of Pascal Siakam (personal). Walker started Monday's game against Minnesota, but he's averaged just 3.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 11.1 minutes over 10 games since the All-Star break.

MARCH 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Walker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas.

Impact Walker presumably sustained the right ankle sprain during Monday's overtime win over Minnesota, during which he limped to the bench after an awkward landing, per Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis. If the 21-year-old forward is sidelined Wednesday, Ben Sheppard and Obi Toppin could see a bump in minutes.

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in starting role Walker finished Monday's 132-130 overtime victory over the Timberwolves with 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 35 minutes.

Impact Walker made his third start of the season Monday due to the absences of Myles Turner (hip), Pascal Siakam (personal) and Aaron Nesmith (ankle), and there's no question he made the most of the opportunity. However, fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to just one game. Walker is expected to continue being a depth option for the Pacers, and he should have limited minutes at his disposal when the team is at full strength.

The Indiana Pacers took the floor in Minnesota without four starters, including stars Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam

MARCH 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Back in starting lineup Monday Walker is in Indiana's starting lineup against Minnesota on Monday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Walker has been a healthy scratch for the Pacers' last three games, but the 2023 first-round pick will make his third start of the season Monday due to the absences of Myles Turner (hip), Pascal Siakam (personal) and Aaron Nesmith (ankle). Walker's last start was March 6 against the Hawks, and he finished that game with eight points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench Saturday Walker is not in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Hawks on Saturday, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact Walker made his second start of the season Thursday against the Hawks and finished with eight points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes. Even with Tyrese Haliburton (hip) missing a second straight game, Walker will come off the bench Saturday while Ben Sheppard enters the Pacers' starting five.

Balanced effort in starting lineup Walker recorded eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes in Thursday's 124-118 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Walker received a starting nod Thursday while Bennedict Mathurin works his way back to the floor with a sprained left wrist, putting forth a balanced showing. Walker finished second on the team in rebounds and two points shy of the double-digit mark in his second start of the year. In two starts this season, Walker has averaged 6.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.

Getting chance to start Walker is starting Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Sees garbage-time run Thursday Walker (back) played the final 1:31 of Thursday's 127-113 win over the Grizzlies, recording one assist and no other statistics.

Impact After missing the Pacers' final game before the All-Star break due to a sore lower back, Walker got the green light to play Thursday. However, with Myles Turner (neck) making his return from a three-game absence and playing 32 minutes, the Pacers didn't have room in the rotation for Walker while the contest was competitive. The Pacers will likely have to be without Turner, Pascal Siakam, Obi Toppin and Thomas Bryant for a given game in order for Walker to receive meaningful playing time.

Cleared from injury report Walker (back) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Walker missed Indiana's final game before the All-Star break with a back injury, but he's been cleared to return Thursday. The 2023 first-rounder should return to a reserve role against Memphis, but he's struggled to the tune of 3.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 12.2 minutes per game through his last eight outings.

FEBRUARY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Walker (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Walker sit out the second leg of Indiana's back-to-back Wednesday due to a back issue. His next chance to play is Feb. 20 against the Grizzlies. With the Pacers' frontcourt missing some key contributors against Washington, Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin will look to hold down the fort.

Iffy against Washington Walker (back) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact Walker has missed two of the last six games for the Pacers and might be trending toward missing the last game for the team before the NBA All-Star break with back soreness. The 21-year-old forward hasn't played much this season at 16.6 minutes per contest but has put up career-high numbers across the board for Indiana with 6.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting a career-best 45.8 percent from the floor.

Muted scoring in win Walker racked up three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 133-119 victory over Detroit.

Impact Walker has now failed to score double-digit points for the fifth straight game. While the 21-year-old forward is shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from three this season, he is averaging just 6.2 points per contest. However, Walker's main contributions have come on the defensive end, as he has recorded at least one steal or block in 30 of his 46 appearances in 2024-25.
