Toronto recalled Walter from the G League's Raptors 905 on Monday, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
After a recent six-game absence due to an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, Walter proved his health during a two-game stint in the G League over the weekend.

Now that he's back with Toronto, Walter could factor into the rotation for Monday's game in Detroit with Gradey Dick (calf) sidelined for the contest.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Goes through practice
Walter (shoulder) was able to participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter has been upgraded from out indefinitely to day-to-day, but he'll need to get his conditioning up.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Gets 22 minutes in NBA debut
Walter (shoulder) logged 22 minutes off the bench and finished with five points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in Friday's 131-125 loss to the Lakers.
The No. 19 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft made his professional debut Friday after missing the Raptors' first five games while recovering from an AC joint sprain his right shoulder, an injury he had carried into training camp.
