Top Ja'Kobe Walter News

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Out at least one week

    The Raptors announced Friday that Walter (shoulder) re-injured his right AC joint and will be re-evaluated in one week, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

    Walter missed time earlier this season with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder and re-aggravated the injury during Wednesday's game against Sacramento. With Walter sidelined for at least a week, Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo (hip) are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't return Wednesday

    Walter has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Kings due to a right shoulder joint contusion, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Walter missed the first five games of the 2024-25 season due to a AC joint sprain in the same shoulder, and he was almost immediately ruled out after exiting Wednesday's game. He got caught on a screen by Domantas Sabonis. He finishes the contest with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across eight minutes. Walter's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Clippers, the first leg of a back-to-back set. Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo could see more action if Walter is idle.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Departs for locker room

    Walter exited Wednesday's game against the Kings and went back to the locker room with what appears to be a right shoulder injury, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Walter got caught on a screen by Domantas Sabonis and went straight back to the locker room after exiting the contest. While he's sidelined, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle could see more minutes. It's worth noting Walter dealt with an injury to the same shoulder throughout training camp and the first five games of the regular season.

  • 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. The Raptors weren't shy about opening up big minutes for Walter off the bench, and while the rookie made some decent contributions in the box score, the poor shooting took a bigger night off the table. He could be at risk of falling out of the rotation once Toronto gets the likes of Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) and Bruce Brown (knee) back from injury.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Good to go against Lakers

    Walter (shoulder) is available for Friday's game versus the Lakers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

    Walter has been upgraded from questionable to available to make his NBA debut Friday. With Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) out, Walter could receive depth minutes in Toronto's backcourt.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Questionable for Friday

    Walter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Walter has yet to make an appearance for the Raptors this season as he continues to recover from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, but after getting in some practice time in the G League earlier this week, the rookie first-round pick cold be ready to make his NBA debut Friday. The Raptors are currently without four other rotation players due to injury, so Walter could have the opportunity to see some minutes off the bench whenever he gets the green light to play.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Recalled to NBA

    Toronto recalled Walter (shoulder) from the Raptors 905 Monday.

    Walter is expected to be frequently sent back and forth between the NBA and G League early on this season. Given his shoulder injury, he should be considered questionable to play Wednesday against Charlotte.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Going to G League

    Toronto assigned Walter (shoulder) to the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    G League training camps will open Monday, and Walter will join Raptors 905 to continue his rehab program from a right shoulder sprain. The rookie first-round pick has yet to make his NBA debut while he's been sidelined with the injury.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Out at least another week

    Coach Darko Rajakovic said Monday that Walter (shoulder) is a week to 10 days away from being cleared for full-contact portions of practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Walter participated in some parts of Monday's practice but still has multiple hurdles to clear before returning to game action. The rookie missed the entire preseason schedule due to the shoulder injury, so even when he's cleared to suit up, Walter likely won't factor into Toronto's early-season rotation.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Another absence coming

    Walter (shoulder) has yet to be medically cleared and won't play in Friday's preseason game versus the Nets, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

    Walter was seen shooting at Thursday's practice but will miss his final chance to suit up this preseason Friday due to a sprained acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder. Walter's status for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Cleveland is uncertain.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Out again Friday

    Walter (shoulder) has been ruled out of Friday's preseason game versus the Wizards, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The rookie will miss another preseason game due to a sprained acromioclavicular joint. Walter is not expected to miss any time during the regular season, but it is currently unclear whether he will participate during the preseason.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Restricted to start training camp

    Walter sprained his acromioclavicular joint (shoulder) during informal workouts and will not participate in on-court activities to start training camp, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    The No. 19 overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft will not be permitted to participate in on-court activities for at least a week of training camp due to the shoulder injury. However, Walter is not likely to miss any regular-season action, and the Raptors are expected to give an update on his status after one week. The 20-year-old played for Baylor in 2023-24 and averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.2 minutes per game across 35 regular-season appearances.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Held to five points

    Walter notched five points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Saturday's 94-69 Summer League win over the Thunder.

    Walter was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year while at Baylor before being selected by the Raptors with the No. 19 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Walter's three-point shooting will be his calling card in the NBA, but he couldn't find his shot Saturday. With the Raptors undergoing a rebuild, the rookie could potentially carve out a decent role as the season progresses.

  • Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Headed to Toronto with No. 19 pick

    Walter was selected by the Raptors with the No. 19 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

    Walter was last season's Big 12 Freshman of the Year while at Baylor and earned Third-Team All-Big 12 honors. First and foremost, Walter is a three-point shooter. Of his 10.9 shot attempts per game, 6.3 of them came from distance. He drained 2.1 threes per game at 34.1 percent. While that's not an elite number, he took plenty of difficult movement triples. He's capable of pump faking and driving off his three-point threat, but he's not a top-shelf athlete and needs to work on his finishing around the basket. He'll often pump fake to push in and shoot a mid-ranger. Taking a step forward as a ball handler and passer would do wonders for his potential. Defensively, Walter struggles from a lack of footspeed and may be better off guarding bigger players given his 6-foot-10 wingspan on a 6-foot-4 frame. Walter's gravity as a three-point shooter, especially one who can move off-ball, should be valuable to Toronto. If Toronto moves on from Gary Trent and/or Bruce Brown, Walter could compete for a starting spot with Gradey Dick.
