Lonnie Walker IV News
Impending free-agent guard Lonnie Walker IV appears to be noncommittal on his future with the Brooklyn Nets. "I'm just looking for a home Just looking for a team that finds me valuable. [I want to be] an important piece for a team that can consistently play We'll see how things go", Walker told reporters following Sunday's blowout loss in Brooklyn's regular-season finale against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 25-year-old swingman netted a one-year pact with the Nets last offseason and was a serviceable part of their rotation when healthy during 2023-24, averaging 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers on 38.4% shooting from beyond the arc through 58 appearances as a reserve. Walker is a decent spot-up shooter and spark plug off the bench, but he doesn't provide enough on the defensive end to consistently handle big minutes.
Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) will return for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 25-year-old hasn't felt the best, although he still managed to average 20 points in his two appearances leading up to Saturday's loss to Charlotte. However, with Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) back for that one after a lengthy layoff, Walker finally got the night off to rest. There's a chance Thomas could see fewer minutes in the second of back-to-back contests, so Walker could remain a part of the rotation. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Walker's fantasy ceiling isn't nearly as high as it was just a few games ago, making him a risky option in all formats.
Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. The 25-year-old has been under the weather of late. However, despite still dealing with obvious congestion and other symptoms, he has averaged 20 points in the last two games. Nonetheless, Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) will finally return on Saturday from a lengthy layoff, so Walker may finally get a night off. But even if he's active, he could have a tough time getting on the floor with Thomas back in the equation.
Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) will play on Thursday versus the Pistons. He hasn't felt well and carried a questionable tag since Wednesday night. However, the 25-year-old is at least feeling well enough to suit up for the meeting with the worst team in the National Basketball Association. Walker logged 30 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers, finishing with 19 points. With Cam Thomas (foot, ankle) and Cameron Johnson (ankle) out, Walker should continue to receive extra work, making him a worthwhile fantasy option in any format.
