Jarace Walker Fantasy Stats

Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers. He sustained a head injury in the first quarter and is being evaluated for a concussion. Kobe Brown started the second half in Walker's place. Obi Toppin may get more usage as well due to his absence. The two are also likely going to be more involved in Sunday's game against Miami if Walker has to miss time.

Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Kings despite dealing with a right ankle sprain and mid-back soreness. The 22-year-old has been a key piece in Indiana's rotation lately, including a 14-point outing Sunday against Portland. Walker's role has expanded with the Pacers thin in the frontcourt due to Ivica Zubac (ankle) and Pascal Siakam (knee) remaining sidelined. Over his last five games, Walker is averaging 15.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes, making him a viable fantasy hold if active.

Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (illness) and forward/center Micah Potter (ankle) will be active against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Both players were listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Indiana will wrap up a back-to-back on Wednesday and won't have any of its big guns in the lineup, giving players like Walker and Potter an excellent opportunity to have larger roles. Potter looks set to make a second consecutive start, while Walker may join him in the first unit. Overall, the Pacers will have only nine players available for this game.

Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (illness) won't play on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. He was added to the injury report very late due to illness and has been officially ruled out ahead of tip-off. Given the circumstances, it wouldn't be surprising if Walker also sat out Wednesday's game against Brooklyn. With Walker out, the rest of the second unit must step up against the Knicks. Micah Potter (hip), Ben Sheppard, and Kam Jones are all candidates for extended minutes.

According to Tony East of WTHR Channel 13, Indianapolis, Indiana Pacers power forward Jarace Walker (ankle) focused on conditioning this offseason after suffering an ankle injury during last season's Eastern Conference Finals. In 2024-25, the 22-year-old averaged 6.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 15.8 minutes per contest across 75 appearances. Fantasy managers should expect the Pacers frontcourt to lean on Walker during the upcoming campaign after Myles Turner signed with Milwaukee in July.

Indiana Pacers power forward Jarace Walker (ankle) will remain sidelined for Monday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Walker has yet to suit up in the series due to a sprained right ankle. According to Dan Devine of Yahoo Sports, head coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that it's "very unlikely" he'll play during the Finals despite making progress in his recovery. Walker has averaged 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 9.8 minutes this postseason. While his absence isn't a significant loss for the Pacers, Walker would be an additional frontcourt option on the bench for Carlisle if he were available.

Indiana Pacers power forward Jarace Walker (ankle) will continue to sit on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 21-year-old was initially ruled out for the first two games of the Finals, but Walker is not ready to return for Wednesday's Game 3, as he needs more time to recover from a right ankle sprain. Ahead of Sunday's Game 2, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters that Walker is "not close" to returning, making it uncertain when he will be available for selection. Walker has averaged 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 9.8 minutes this postseason. While his absence isn't a big loss for the Pacers, Walker would be an additional frontcourt option on the bench for Carlisle if he were healthy.

Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (ankle) is expected to miss "at least" the first two games of the NBA Finals versus OKC. He tweaked his ankle in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks, requiring assistance to the locker room. The 21-year-old was also observed leaving the arena on crutches. Walker has been used sporadically throughout the postseason, averaging only 3.0 points and 1.8 boards in 9.8 minutes of action. That likely won't change if he's cleared to return during the finals. But his absence should at least give a few more minutes to Obi Toppin and Bennedict Mathurin from off the bench, slightly increasing their DFS potential.

Indiana Pacers power forward Jarace Walker (ankle) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Walker was initially considered questionable for the contest after he sprained his right ankle in Monday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. On Monday, Walker earned a starting nod with Pascal Siakam (personal) unavailable. Siakam will return to action against Dallas, which means Walker will move back to the bench, reducing his fantasy value significantly.

Indiana Pacers power forward Jarace Walker (illness) will be good to go on Friday against Milwaukee. He's been battling an illness, but the team has upgraded Walker from questionable to available ahead of the game. Walker's role on the team has grown in recent weeks, and he was even a starter on Monday versus Toronto. Across the last five games, Walker has averaged 6.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 21.7 minutes.
