Jarace Walker News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Unlikely to play in NBA Finals Head coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that Walker (ankle) is improving and off crutches, though it's "unlikely" that he'll return during the NBA Finals, Dan Devine of Yahoo Sports r...

Impact While Walker hasn't officially been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Thunder, he can be considered doubtful at best for the remainder of the series until the Pacers provide another update. The 21-year-old still has a slight limp but is making progress in his recovery. However, his season is expected to be over due to the sprained right ankle he sustained in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks.

Out at least two games Walker (ankle) will miss the first two games of the NBA Finals, Dustin Dopirak of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact During his weekly radio interview with James Boyd and Kevin Bowen on 107.5 FM The Fan, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Walker will be out "a while." The NBA Finals are very spread out, however, which gives Walker more time for treatment and healing. He's averaged 9.8 minutes in the postseason, appearing in 12 out of 16 games. With Walker sidelined, a handful of those minutes could go to Obi Toppin.

Impact Walker was taken off the court in the fourth quarter and didn't return to the game, finishing the contest with two points and a rebound across seven minutes. He'll have a few days to recover before Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals against the Thunder on Thursday, but even if he's available, he shouldn't have an impact from a fantasy perspective. Walker has logged more than 20 minutes off the bench just once in the team's current playoff run.

Impact Walker was taken off the court, helped by James Johnson and a trainer, after Karl-Anthony Towns scored on him. Walker isn't expected to have a big role, though, so his potential absence shouldn't affect many fantasy outcomes.
