Trail Blazers' Jabari Walker: Serves as backup center
Jabari 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.

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, especially if Robert Williams (concussion) remains out.
