Jabari Walker News
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) will be available for Saturday's clash against the Pelicans. The team has upgraded him from a questionable status. Walker returns after missing five games with a right hip inflammation. The 21-year-old was rolling before getting hurt, and it will be interesting to see if he can carry on the momentum Saturday. Walker is certainly in a good position to post a third double-double in five appearances, as Jerami Grant (hamstring) remains out, and his absence leaves a lot of frontcourt minutes to fill.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) was upgraded to questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans. The 2022 No. 57 overall pick has been a critical component of Chauncey Billups' rotation this season, averaging 8.5 and 6.6 rebounds in 22 minutes per contest. He's missed the last five games because of a hip issue and was initially labeled doubtful for the meeting with New Orleans, so he's at least moving in a favorable direction. However, the 21-year-old still has an uphill battle before being cleared. Fortunately, Billups indicated Walker is "getting close," meaning he could be back in the next few games. With Jerami Grant (hamstring) also in line to sit out on Saturday, Toumani Camara and Kris Murray should continue to warrant attention from fantasy managers.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) is on the injury report as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against New Orleans. The 21-year-old has been out for five games, but Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups noted earlier in the week that Walker's return is getting close. However, Saturday's game might come too soon for Walker. With Jerami Grant (hamstring) also doubtful for Saturday, Toumani Camara and Kris Murray appear set for a busy night. The two youngsters have done well at times, but Saturday's matchup is a tricky one against a very good defensive team.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) was out for a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Atlanta, but he is expected to make a return soon. Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups said Walker is getting closer and won't be out too much longer. These are encouraging words from Billups, but Thursday's matchup against the Knicks likely still comes too soon for Walker, who's averaging 8.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in 22.1 minutes for his sophomore campaign. Following Thursday's action, Portland is scheduled to face New Orleans on Saturday, giving Walker a few more days to shake off right hip inflammation.
