Slotted to bench
Walker will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Suns. Walker will retreat to a bench role due to Donovan Clingan entering the starting lineup. Walker has not been much of a factor as far as the stats are concerned of late, averaging just 3.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances.
Starting vs. San Antonio
Walker will start Friday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports. Walker will get the nod at center due to the lack of depth in the Blazers frontcourt. Deandre Ayton (illness) and Robert Williams (not injury related) are out, while Donovan Clingan will operate under a minute restriction, so Walker is the next man up to start at the center position. Walker averages 3.0 points and 3.1 rebounds across 10.8 minutes per game this season. This will be his first start of the 2024-25 campaign.
Serves as backup center
Walker contributed two points (1-5 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 121-114 loss to Indiana. Walker spent time as the backup center, playing behind the returning Deandre Ayton. With the Trail Blazers very limited when it comes to frontcourt depth, it was Walker who played over Duop Reath whom many saw as the logical backup choice. It is unclear whether this may have been a matchup-based decision, meaning Reath could very well be back in the rotation against the Kings on Friday.
Season-high 23 minutes Monday
Walker notched nine points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 123-98 loss to the Grizzlies. Walker finished with 20-plus minutes for the first time this season. He also scored his second-highest mark of the year, with his season high of 15 points dating back to Oct. 28 against Sacramento. If Jerami Grant (knee) misses additional time, Walker could see a slight uptick in playing time off the bench.
Season-high points in loss
Walker amassed 15 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and six rebounds over 19 minutes during Monday's 111-98 loss to the Kings. The 22-year-old finished as the club's third-highest scorer behind Deandre Ayton (20) and Scoot Henderson (18) in an efficient night from the field. Walker set his season high in minutes played and points scored Monday, and he is set to contribute double-digit minutes off the bench moving forward. The third-year forward has averaged 6.0 points and 4.3 rebounds across 14.5 minutes per game in four regular-season appearances.
Gets clearance for opener
Walker (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports. Walker missed back-to-back games to end the preseason schedule but has been cleared for game action ahead of the regular season. After a quiet rookie campaign, Walker averaged 23.6 minutes per game across 72 regular-season appearances (23 starts) last season.
Doesn't play Friday
Walker (ankle) didn't play in Friday's 124-86 preseason loss to the Jazz. Walker missed his second straight preseason contest Friday due to right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old forward's next chance to suit up is Portland's regular-season opener against Golden State on Wednesday.
Tending to ankle soreness
Walker won't play in Wednesday's exhibition against Ratiopharm Ulm due to right ankle soreness. Walker will miss his first preseason game Wednesday for what appears to be a minor ankle injury. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Jazz.
Ready for training camp
Portland general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Walker (knee) will be ready for training camp, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports. Walker missed the final game of the 2023-24 season due to left knee tendinitis, but the franchise was just being cautious. Walker played a key role for the team, making 72 regular-season appearances with averages of 8.9 points and 7.1 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per game. Minutes won't be as easy to come by this time around, however, as Jerami Grant is healthy and the Trail Blazers added Deni Avdija this offseason.
