Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Scores nine points in return
Walter (hip) posted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists across 28 minutes Sunday in Toronto's 103-101 win over Oklahoma City.
Walter showed a little bit of rust Sunday in his return from a seven-game absence due to a right hip pointer, but the fact that he handled heavy minutes in a tightly contested game is a promising sign. He struggled from deep, but he made up for it on the defensive end by matching his season high with three steals. Walter had started in both of his final two appearances prior to missing time with his injury, though he'll likely stay in a bench role now that RJ Barrett is back healthy.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Available Sunday
Walter (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter will shed his questionable tag and return from a seven-game absence due to a right hip injury. Over five appearances (two starts) so far this month, the second-year guard has averaged 6.4 points and 2.2 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per tilt.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Tabbed questionable
Walter (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against OKC.
Walter hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 11, but he'll have a chance at returning for Sunday's matchup with the Thunder. The second-year guard made back-to-back starts before sustaining the injury. However, with the Raptors back at full health on the perimeter, Walter likely won't have a huge role once healthy.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Not playing Friday
Walter (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Walter will end up missing his seventh consecutive game while recovering from a right hip contusion, but there's optimism that he is close to a return. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Thunder, the final game of the Raptors' five-game road trip.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Could return soon
Walter (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against Sacramento, but he has a chance at returning before the Raptors' road trip ends Sunday at Oklahoma City, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Wednesday's absence is Walter's sixth straight, but it looks like a return is on the horizon. Per Grange, Walter is more likely to return Sunday against OKC than Friday at Portland. Still, it's an encouraging update for the second-year wing.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Another absence coming
Walter is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings with a right hip pointer.
Wednesday will be Walter's sixth consecutive absence, and his next chance to play comes Friday in Portland. With RJ Barrett (ankle) also out, Jamal Shead remains a strong streaming option at point guard on the banged-up Raptors against Sacramento.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't play Tuesday
Walter (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Walter will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a right hip injury, and his next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Kings. With the second-year guard unavailable, more minutes will be available for the likes of Ochai Agbaji, Gradey Dick and A.J. Lawson.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't play Sunday
Walter (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Sunday will mark the fourth consecutive game on the inactive list for Walter. His next chance to play will come Tuesday versus the Warriors, but with that game being the first of a back-to-back set, he should be considered doubtful.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Sidelined again for Friday
Walter (hip) will not play Friday against the Clippers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter will be sidelined for a third straight game and remains without a timetable to return. Jamal Shead is likely to see an uptick in minutes in the meantime.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't play Wednesday
Walter is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to a right hip pointer.
The swingman is sidelined for a second consecutive contest with the injury. Friday's matchup with the Clippers marks his next opportunity to retake the court. With RJ Barrett (ankle) joining Walter as a spectator, Jamal Shead has a much clearer pathway to playing time in the starting backcourt Wednesday.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't play Monday
Walter is listed out for Monday's game against the 76ers due to a right hip pointer, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter was unable to finish out Sunday's 116-115 overtime win over Philadelphia due to the injury, and he'll need at least one game off to recover from the hip pointer. RJ Barrett (ankle) will also remain out and Brandon Ingram (thumb) is considered questionable, so the Raptors could have plenty of minutes up for grabs on the wing.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't return Sunday
Walter (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the 76ers, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter injured his right hip during the first quarter and has not been cleared to return by medical staff, finishing the night with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist over five minutes. He was making his second consecutive start due to the absences of RJ Barrett (ankle) and Brandon Ingram (thumb), so Gradey Dick and Alijah Martin are poised to see more minutes off the bench for the rest of Sunday's contest. Walter is now in jeopardy of being sidelined for Monday's rematch against Philadelphia.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Exits to locker room
Walter exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the 76ers due to an apparent hip injury, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Walter headed back to the locker room with 7:17 remaining in the first quarter, grabbing at his right hip. If the second-year guard joins Brandon Ingram (thumb) and RJ Barrett (ankle) on the sidelines, Gradey Dick, Alijah Martin and Ochai Agbaji are candidates for increased playing time.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Drains season-high five triples
Walter logged 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during the Raptors' 125-117 loss to the Celtics on Friday.
Walter entered the Raptors' starting lineup Friday due to the absences of Brandon Ingram (thumb) and Scottie Barnes (knee). Walter got off to a somewhat slow start, but he came alive in the fourth quarter with 11 points -- nine of which came from beyond the arc -- en route to a season high in triples. RJ Barrett left late in the fourth quarter after tweaking his left ankle, so Walter could maintain an elevated role against the 76ers on Sunday even if one or more of Barrett, Ingram or Barnes were cleared to play.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Pops for season-high 18
Walter had 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 141-127 overtime victory over the Warriors.
The second-year guard set new season highs in minutes and points while tying his best performance of 2025-26 in made three-pointers. Walter is still trying to find some consistency as part of the Raptors' second unit, scoring in double digits only three times in the last eight games while averaging 8.6 points, 1.5 threes, 1.4 boards, 1.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 19.9 minutes during that span.

Walter closed Sunday's 96-81 loss to the Nets with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes.
Walter, who normally sees minutes in the teens, picked up some run due to the lopsided score. RJ Barrett (knee) is said to be nearing a return, at which point Walter could struggle to find consistent minutes.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Coming off bench vs. New York
Walter is not in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Knicks on Tuesday, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Walter will cede his spot in the starting lineup to Ochai Agbaji for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup. Walter has started in seven of the Raptors' last eight games due to the absence of RJ Barrett (knee), and over that span, the former has averaged 6.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.1 steals over 23.0 minutes per game.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Drops 17 points in loss
Walter had 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.
Walter made his fifth start of the campaign Thursday, and that's a role he's struggled with previously -- he's produced averages of 7.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in that sample size. While Thursday's line was encouraging, Walter's fantasy production has been a bit too volatile at times, so managers would like to see more consistency. When RJ Barrett (knee) returns, Walter will slide back to a bench role.
