Ja'Kobe Walter Fantasy Stats

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ja'Kobe Walter (illness) has been tagged as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. The 21-year-old may have to skip a second consecutive game due to illness. Walter enjoyed a decent debut season with the Raptors, but his role this year is expected to change now that the team is fully healthy. In his absence, Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick will receive additional playing time. Both players logged 20-plus minutes in Wednesday's season opener against the Atlanta Hawks, with Dick delivering an impressive performance, scoring 21 points and grabbing five rebounds.

Toronto Raptors shooting guard Ja'Kobe Walter made big plays at both ends in Tuesday's 101-97 victory over the Denver Nuggets in the Las Vegas Summer League, leading all scorers with 26 points and snagging a game-high seven steals. Following a couple of rough shooting performances in Vegas, Walter finished a solid 8-for-16 from the field. He was 4-for-11 with the three-ball and shot 6-for-7 at the line, wrapping up his day at the office with four rebounds and one block. The Raptors saw a few encouraging performances from Walter last season, but he needs to stay healthy to establish himself in the rotation. The 20-year-old missed the start of his rookie campaign due to a shoulder injury and made just 52 appearances in total.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) will sit out a seventh consecutive game on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Walter hasn't played since March 7 due to a right hip flexor injury. It's unclear when the rookie will be cleared for action. With Gradey Dick (knee) also out of commission, the Raptors have given more looks to A.J. Lawson, Jamal Shead, and Jamison Battle. Lawson has put together a few standout performances but has gone quiet in recent contests, shooting only 8-for-23 from the field while totaling 21 points across the last two games.

According to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca, Toronto Raptors shooting guard Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) will be sidelined again on Monday against the Phoenix Suns. Walter hasn't played since March 6th and will miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a hip injury. Unless the 20-year-old practices this week, he will be doubtful for the Raptors next game on Thursday versus Golden State. The rookie guard's long absence won't impact fantasy as he's averaging just 7.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 20.0 minutes per contest across 44 games this season.

Toronto Raptors shooting guard Ja'Kobe Walter (quadriceps) will miss a third consecutive game on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers and may be out for the rest of the campaign. Sportsnet's Michael Grange has reported that Walter is dealing with a Grade 2 strain in his quad/hip area that could keep him out for a month. There are only five weeks left of the 2024-25 regular season. Walter is currently limited to stand still shooting and will be re-evaluated in a couple of days. In Walter's absence, Jared Rhoden and A.J. Lawson will see more playing time.

Toronto Raptors shooting guard Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) will return to the lineup on Thursday versus Minnesota. He's been out of commission for two weeks with a shoulder injury. Walter has only seen limited action during his rookie campaign, but the injury-hit Raptors will be happy to know that they will have another healthy body available. In four appearances, Walter has posted 2.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.3 minutes. He currently doesn't have any fantasy value.

Toronto Raptors guard Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) is dealing with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder and is listed as questionable for the team's Friday night contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. Walter was the 19th overall pick in this year's NBA Draft but hasn't appeared in a game yet for the Raptors. While he has the chance to play, there are better options right now until Walter has the chance to get his first game under his belt. If he's unable to suit up, Ochai Agbaji, Davion Mitchell, and Jamal Shead will all see minutes off of the bench.

Toronto Raptors guard Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unfortunately, Raptors fans will have to wait a little longer before their first-round pick can take the court. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, but the Raptors aren't going to take any chances with their young guard. Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji should continue seeing more minutes with Walter out at least one more game. Dick finished with 16 points in the season opener and is worth a look as a possible streaming option while Walter is out.

Toronto Raptors shooting guard Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) hopes to be in game shape in three weeks. The 20-year-old rookie is recovering from a sprained AC joint. "Probably won't be doing anything on-court for this next week-and-a-half, for sure," Walter said. "But still, I'll be doing my strength and mobility work during that time. I should probably be back in, like, three weeks." The Raptors have their season opener scheduled for Oct. 23 against Cleveland, meaning Walter should be fine for the start of the regular season. However, missing training camp is definitely a blow for him, as he won't have a chance to build any chemistry with his teammates and could struggle for a place in the rotation because of it.
