Trail Blazers' Jabari Walker: Won't return Friday

Walker won't return to Friday's game against the Rockets due to a left knee injury. He finished with nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five rebounds in 14 minutes.

The Trail Blazers didn't provide any specifics on the extent of Walker's injury. Given that Portland has little on the line in Sunday's regular-season finale in Sacramento, Walker could end up sitting out that game even if his knee issue ends up being a minor concern.
