His three triples Walker closed Monday's 111-86 win over Memphis with 13 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes.

Impact Walker was one of seven Nets with double-digit scoring in Monday's blowout victory. He profiles as one of Brooklyn's better floor spacers, so he should remain a nightly component of the rotation. Walker has averaged 18.3 points on 51.0/47.6/77.8 percent shooting across 15 contests in which he has logged at least 20 minutes this season.

Scores 15 points in 17 minutes Walker racked up 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Walker scored double-digits for the first time in over a week, popping for 15 points in 17 minutes. While this was an encouraging performance, it should not send managers running to the waiver wire. Outside of pockets of streaming value, Walker is not someone who needs to be added outside of deeper formats.

Good to go against San Antonio Walker (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game versus the Spurs, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Walker has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday after missing Brooklyn's last two contests with a left hamstring injury. Walker is averaging 12.2 points, 2.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 seals in 21.4 minutes across his last five appearances.

Expected to play Saturday Walker (hamstring) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Spurs, NBA insider Billy Reinhardt of reports.

Impact Walker is expected to return to action Friday after missing the previous two contests with a hamstring injury. With the Nets trading away Spencer Dinwiddie and Dennis Schroder's (trade pending) status unclear, Walker could receive increased minutes against San Antonio if he's upgraded to available.

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another absence coming Walker (hamstring) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

Impact Walker will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to a left hamstring injury he suffered against Golden State. Walker's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with San Antonio.

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Tuesday Walker (hamstring) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Walker left Monday's game early and wasn't able to return, so it's not a surprise to see him being held out for the second leg of this back-to-back. Cam Johnson (adductor) is doubtful and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is out, so the Nets could rely heavily on Dennis Smith and Royce O'Neale.

Won't return vs. Golden State Walker has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Warriors due to left hamstring tightness, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. He finished with three points (1-2 FG,...

Impact This is a disappointing development for Walker, who was coming off a 20-point performance Saturday against the 76ers. Dennis Smith and Royce O'Neale could see extra minutes down the stretch with Walker sidelined.

Lifts bench in 20-point performance Walker produced 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's 136-121 win over the 76ers.

Impact Walker led all bench players in Saturday's contest in scoring while connecting on a trio of threes and handing out a trio of assists to boost Brooklyn on the second unit. Walker has recorded at least 20 points in seven games this season, now posting 19 or more points in three straight outings off the bench. Walker's dominance from deep continued Saturday, his third straight game with at least three threes.

FEBRUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back on track offensively Walker notched 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and four steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 136-120 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Walker has scored exactly 19 points in two straight contests following a four-game stretch during which he averaged just 3.8 points on 28.6 percent shooting. The veteran wing added season-best marks with seven assists and four thefts Wednesday in one of his best overall performances of the campaign. Walker rarely puts up anything close to that level of peripheral stats and has seen his minutes fluctuate throughout the campaign, making him difficult to roster outside of very deep fantasy leagues.

Impact Walker logged 25 minutes in Brooklyn's loss to Cleveland in Paris on Thursday, but coach Jacque Vaughn expressed that he was comfortable giving Walker extended run given the Nets' light week due to the travel circumstances.

Handles light role in return Walker (hamstring/illness) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in six minutes Friday in the Nets' 124-115 win over the Thunder.

Impact Walker checked into the game to begin the second quarter and checked out with 6:05 remaining in the period. He never returned to the contest, though the Nets didn't indicate that Walker experienced any sort of setback in what was his first appearance in more than a month following an extended absence due to a hamstring injury and an illness. Aside from Ben Simmons (back), the Nets have all their key rotation players available, so Walker looks as though he'll have to settle for a small role on the second unit in most games.

Impact Walker was listed as probable leading up to his clearance, so the news isn't surprising.

Impact This will be the 16th straight game on the shelf for Walker, and he should be considered doubtful at best for Wednesday's game versus Houston. He's reportedly getting closer to a return, but he'll likely need to get in a full practice before he's cleared.

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Walker's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in New Orleans, but if he's cleared, Walker figures to have a strict minutes limit after a lengthy absence.

Impact Walker has missed the last eight games due to a strained left hamstring but has progressed in his recovery recently. While he's been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks and should be sidelined for at least a few more matchups, he appears to be closing in on a return to game action. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see Walker face some sort of minutes restriction once he's cleared to return to the Nets' lineup.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Walker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
