Top Ja'Kobe Walter News

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Double-double in Wednesday's start

    Walter produced 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-93 win over New Orleans.

    The 19th overall pick in the 2024 Draft returned from the G League and made a splash, recording his first career double-double against a Pelicans roster missing most of its key frontcourt players. The performance was definitely an encouraging one for Walter, and the 5-14 Raptors should have no problem finding minutes for him if the Baylor product is ready for a regular role, especially if Gradey Dick (calf), Immanuel Quickley (elbow) and Bruce Brown (knee) remain sidelined.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Starting vs. Pelicans

    Walter is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The Raptors are tweaking their starting unit for this contest against the Pelicans to shake things up. It's unclear what kind of impact Walter might have, though, as he struggled in his first taste of action at the NBA level. The rookie out of Baylor hasn't played in the NBA since Nov. 6, as he spent the past few weeks with the Raptors 905 of the G League.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Rejoins parent club

    Toronto recalled Walter from the G League's Raptors 905 on Monday, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    After a recent six-game absence due to an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, Walter proved his health during a two-game stint in the G League over the weekend. In his two appearances for the 905 on Friday and Sunday, Walter logged 44 total minutes and tallied 33 points (14-27 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals. Now that he's back with Toronto, Walter could factor into the rotation for Monday's game in Detroit with Gradey Dick (calf) sidelined for the contest.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Available vs. Minnesota

    Walter (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The rookie first-round pick has missed the Raptors' last six games with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, but he should see minutes off the bench in this one as a depth piece in the backcourt. Walter is averaging just 2.5 points and 2.8 rebounds in his four appearances off the bench this season.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Practices, but still questionable

    Walter practiced with the G League's Raptors 905 and remains questionable for Toronto's game Thursday against the Timberwolves, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Walter was briefly assigned to the G League earlier Thursday to get in some practice time, but Toronto hasn't ruled him out from being available against Minnesota, with the game tipping off at 7:30 p.m. ET.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Goes through practice

    Walter (shoulder) was able to participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Walter has been upgraded from out indefinitely to day-to-day, but he'll need to get his conditioning up. From what it sounds like, a potential return Sunday against the Cavaliers could be on the table. With Scottie Barnes (eye) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) on the mend, consistent minutes won't be easy to come by for Walter, however.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Questionable for Thursday

    Walter (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Walter was able to practice in full Wednesday and is on the verge of a return. Scottie Barnes (eye) is also questionable, while Immanuel Quickley (elbow) remains out. If Walter does crack the rotation, he's likely to have a minimal role initially.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Remains out indefinitely

    Walter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers and remains sidelined indefinitely, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Walter doesn't have a return timetable while he works his way back from a shoulder injury. Walter worked his way into Toronto's rotation in early November due to the Raptors' myriad of absences, but when everyone is healthy, the rookie will have an uphill battle to see minutes consistently.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Out at least one week

    The Raptors announced Friday that Walter (shoulder) re-injured his right AC joint and will be re-evaluated in one week, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't return Wednesday

    Walter has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Kings due to a right shoulder joint contusion, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Walter missed the first five games of the 2024-25 season due to a AC joint sprain in the same shoulder, and he was almost immediately ruled out after exiting Wednesday's game. He got caught on a screen by Domantas Sabonis. He finishes the contest with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across eight minutes. Walter's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Clippers, the first leg of a back-to-back set. Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo could see more action if Walter is idle.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Departs for locker room

    Walter exited Wednesday's game against the Kings and went back to the locker room with what appears to be a right shoulder injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Walter got caught on a screen by Domantas Sabonis and went straight back to the locker room after exiting the contest. While he's sidelined, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle could see more minutes.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Gets 22 minutes in NBA debut

    Walter (shoulder) logged 22 minutes off the bench and finished with five points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in Friday's 131-125 loss to the Lakers.

    The No. 19 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft made his professional debut Friday after missing the Raptors' first five games while recovering from an AC joint sprain his right shoulder, an injury he had carried into training camp. The Raptors weren't shy about opening up big minutes for Walter off the bench, and while the rookie made some decent contributions in the box score, the poor shooting took a bigger night off the table. He could be at risk of falling out of the rotation once Toronto gets the likes of Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) and Bruce Brown (knee) back from injury.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Good to go against Lakers

    Walter (shoulder) is available for Friday's game versus the Lakers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

    Walter has been upgraded from questionable to available to make his NBA debut Friday. With Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) out, Walter could receive depth minutes in Toronto's backcourt.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Questionable for Friday

    Walter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Walter has yet to make an appearance for the Raptors this season as he continues to recover from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, but after getting in some practice time in the G League earlier this week, the rookie first-round pick cold be ready to make his NBA debut Friday. The Raptors are currently without four other rotation players due to injury, so Walter could have the opportunity to see some minutes off the bench whenever he gets the green light to play.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Recalled to NBA

    Toronto recalled Walter (shoulder) from the Raptors 905 Monday.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Going to G League

    Toronto assigned Walter (shoulder) to the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Out at least another week

    Coach Darko Rajakovic said Monday that Walter (shoulder) is a week to 10 days away from being cleared for full-contact portions of practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Walter participated in some parts of Monday's practice but still has multiple hurdles to clear before returning to game action. The rookie missed the entire preseason schedule due to the shoulder injury, so even when he's cleared to suit up, Walter likely won't factor into Toronto's early-season rotation.

    Walter (shoulder) has yet to be medically cleared and won't play in Friday's preseason game versus the Nets, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
