Top Jarace Walker News

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Grabs eight boards in loss

    Walker registered 10 points (3-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Bucks.

    Walker struggled with his shooting efficiency but delivered a useful performance across multiple categories while playing a season-high 29 minutes. The third-year forward scored nine points in the first half before cooling off considerably after halftime. With Indiana dealing with several injuries, Walker could continue receiving expanded opportunities, though his inconsistent shooting remains a concern for fantasy managers.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Not starting Sunday

    Walker won't start Sunday's game against Brooklyn.

    Aaron Nesmith will return to the starting lineup, pushing Walker to the bench. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 2.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 17.5 minutes per tilt across two regular-season appearances (one start).

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Starting Friday

    Walker will start Friday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Aaron Nesmith will come off the bench in his return from a hamstring injury, opening the door for Walker to enter the first unit. He logged 19 minutes in Wednesday's season-opening win over New Orleans, recording three points, six rebounds, two assists, one block and four turnovers while shooting 1-for-6 from the field.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Off injury report

    Walker (rest) is off the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Pelicans.

    Walker missed the end of the preseason, likely for maintenance reasons. With Aaron Nesmith sidelined with a hamstring injury, Walker and Kelly Oubre stand out as the most likely candidates to enter the Pacers' Opening Night starting lineup.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: To miss another game

    Walker (undisclosed) is out for Friday's preseason game against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    This will be Walker's second straight game on the shelf for unspecified reasons. Walker can be considered questionable ahead of Opening Night.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Won't play vs. OKC

    Walker (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

    It's unclear why Walker will be held out of the Pacers' penultimate preseason game. His final chance to play before the regular season will come against the Bucks on Friday.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Has 10 assists in preseason win

    Walker totaled seen points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 assists and five rebounds in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason win over Minnesota.

    Despite coming off the bench, Walker logged a team-high 28 minutes, handing out 10 assists in the process. Injuries to other players last season allowed Walker to step into a sizeable role, particularly down the stretch. While he is almost certainly going to play a somewhat muted role when compared to his late-season heroics, Walker has likely done enough to at least earn himself a consistent spot in the rotation.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Makes strides in third season

    Walker took another step forward during his third NBA season, earning a larger role in Indiana's rotation thanks to his defensive versatility and improving offensive game.

    The 2023 lottery pick remains one of the Pacers' most intriguing young forwards and could continue seeing increased opportunities as his development progresses. He enters 2026-27 positioned to remain a key member of Indiana's frontcourt rotation.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Unavailable versus Detroit

    Walker (foot) won't play in Sunday's game against Detroit, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Walker will miss the final game of the 2025-26 campaign. With Walker sidelined, Kobe Brown or Jalen Slawson are in line to replace him in the starting lineup, and it's possible both players are deployed on the first unit.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Questionable for Sunday

    Walker is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to a left foot sprain.

    Walker must have tweaked his foot during Friday's loss to the 76ers and is now in danger of missing Sunday's regular-season finale. If he's forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Jalen Slawson and Obi Toppin.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Cleared to play Friday

    Walker (back) is available for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

    Walker has been battling a sacral contusion for weeks. While he has popped up on the injury report since returning from a four-game absence, he's appeared in Indiana's last two contests, most recently amassing 14 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block across 30 minutes in Thursday's 123-94 win over the Nets.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Iffy for Friday

    Walker (sacral contusion) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.

    Walker played through this issue Thursday against the Nets and posted 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes. If given the green light, he could see another expanded role with so many guys out for Indiana.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Nearly triple-doubles in win

    Walker ended Thursday's 123-94 win over the Nets with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes.

    Although Walker came into this game with a questionable tag due to a sacral contusion, he responded with a near triple-double in the starting lineup. Over his last 11 games, he's averaging 14.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Upgraded to available

    Walker (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Nets.

    Walker has been cleared to play Thursday despite battling a sacral contusion. Over his last 10 appearances, the forward has averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes per contest while shooting 43.4 percent from three-point land.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Uncertain status vs. Brooklyn

    Walker is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets due to a sacral contusion.

    Walker supplied 11 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 loss to the Timberwolves. Even though he should play regularly if healthy down the stretch, this contusion puts his status in jeopardy for Thursday's game. If Walker can't suit up, look for Jalen Slawson and Quenton Jackson to see more minutes.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Strong two-way display in loss

    Walker supplied 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Walker might have needed 12 shots to score 11 points, but he salvaged his fantasy line by delivering solid numbers in other categories, including a three-steal performance. It was the fourth time he recorded three or more swipes in a game. This was Walker's return from a four-game absence due to a back contusion, and he's expected to remain in the starting lineup in the Pacers' final three games of the regular season.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Returning versus Minnesota

    Walker (back) will play in Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Walker sustained a back contusion during the 114-113 loss to the Clippers on March 27. As a result, he missed Indiana's last four contests. Walker will presumably return to the starting lineup, and with the Pacers down their top offensive producers, he might be busy on the scoring end.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Questionable against Timberwolves

    Walker (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

    Walker suffered a back contusion after taking a hard fall during the 114-113 loss to the Clippers on March 27. Unfortunately, the injury has caused him to miss Indiana's last four contests. If Walker remains out, Jalen Slawson might stay in the starting lineup, though Kobe Brown is also a candidate to get the starting nod.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Ruled out Sunday

    Walker (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

    Walker suffered a back injury after taking a hard fall in the 114-113 loss to the Clippers on March 27. As a result, he will miss a fourth consecutive contest. With Walker unavailable, Kobe Brown is expected to remain in the starting lineup.
