76ers' Jabari Walker: Doesn't return Saturday
Rotowire
Walker exited Saturday's 127-116 win over the Bucks in the third quarter and did not return due to a right knee injury, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. He finished with six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes.
Walker logged a season-high 12 minutes in the absence of LeBron James (back), though the former injured his knee in the third quarter and never checked back in. Walker can be considered questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit until more information comes to light.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Solid contributions off bench
Rotowire
Walker recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and two steals across 19 minutes in Friday's 125-120 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Walker provided a productive performance off Philadelphia's bench to close out a strong preseason. Although Walker struggled with his long-range shot -- an issue that also affected him in the 2025-26 regular season -- he compensated with solid defensive activity and four rebounds. His 13 points were the most among Philadelphia's reserves, and Walker's ability to contribute in multiple categories could help his case for a regular rotation role, though his fantasy value remains dependent on consistent minutes.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Solid production not enough
Rotowire
Walker totaled 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 144-106 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Walker finished behind VJ Edgecombe for the team high in points, doing so while picking up his second double-digit scoring performance of the preseason. The 2022 No. 57 overall pick spent his first three seasons with the Trail Blazers before suiting up for the 76ers during the 2025-26 campaign. Walker appeared in 64 regular-season games for Philadelphia, and while he managed to start six times, he averaged just 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds over 14.0 minutes per outing in those appearances. His outlook for 2026-27 doesn't appear much different compared to previous seasons, and it may actually be worse, considering Philadelphia added LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, two players who will play north of 30 minutes per game when healthy.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Double-doubles off bench Monday
Rotowire
Walker recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 19 minutes off the bench in Monday's 120-97 preseason win over the Knicks.
Walker made his presence felt on the glass, finishing with a game-high 11 rebounds and joining Saint Thomas as one of two Philadelphia players to record a double-double. Walker also provided perimeter production, connecting on three of five attempts from beyond the arc, and contributed defensively with a steal and a block. Walker's ability to provide frontcourt depth while stretching the floor gives him a useful skill set as he attempts to carve out consistent minutes in Philadelphia's rotation.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Plays limited role in 2025-26
Rotowire
Walker closed with zero points (0-1 FG) and two rebounds across seven minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
After he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the 76ers last summer, Walker was rewarded with a two-year, $3.31 million deal with Philadelphia in February. The fourth-year forward averaged 4.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 11.9 minutes per contest over 64 games during the regular season, and Walker will aim to further improve as a depth option in 2026-27.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Loses hold of rotation spot
Rotowire
Walker (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the 76ers' 119-109 loss to the Heat.
With all of Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre, Paul George and Joel Embiid returning to action for Philadelphia within the past three games following extended absences, Walker is one of several 76ers supporting players who has fallen out of the rotation. Before failing to receive any minutes in Philadelphia's last two contests, Walker had appeared in each of the previous four games before that and averaged 3.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 10.3 minutes.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Limited run in return
Rotowire
Walker (illness) recorded zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in six minutes Thursday in the 76ers' 139-118 win over the Kings.
Walker was back in action after missing the previous three games due to an illness but was barely a factor in the blowout win. The fourth-year forward could see his role expand a bit once he's further removed from the illness, though he likely won't see enough of an uptick in minutes to offer much fantasy appeal.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Scores 16 points in 17 minutes
Rotowire
Walker logged 16 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound over 17 minutes during Philadelphia's 131-109 loss to Detroit on Thursday.
Walker saw most of his playing time in the second half (particularly the fourth quarter) due to the Pistons' large lead. The 2022 second-rounder took advantage of the added run time, needing just six field goals to score 16 points and finish as the Sixers' second-leading scorer behind MarJon Beauchamp (17 points). Walker could see an expanded role off the bench for the next few weeks due to the absences of Tyrese Maxey (finger) and Kelly Oubre (elbow).

76ers' Jabari Walker: Inactive again Monday
Rotowire
Walker was a healthy inactive Monday for the 76ers' 135-118 loss to the Trail Blazers.
A frequent member of the Philadelphia rotation throughout the season, Walker hasn't suited up in three consecutive games after exhausting his eligibility at the NBA level. Since the two-way player has already been active for the maximum 50 games at the NBA level, Walker will need to be converted to a standard contract in order to play for the 76ers again this season. In the meantime, Walker will be able to compete in games with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats under his current contract, though Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com suggests that the 23-year-old forward is unlikely to be assigned to the G League and would presumably be cut so that the 76ers could sign a new player to a two-way deal that would be able to move between both the NBA and G League levels.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Starting sans Barlow
Rotowire
Walker will start Tuesday against Brooklyn, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
With Dominick Barlow (illness) unavailable, Walker will get the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 5. In five starts this season, the two-way player has averaged 2.0 points and 3.2 rebounds across 14.0 minutes per contest. However, he will likely see an uptick in playing time due to several key rotational players being sidelined.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Drops season-high 18 in Milwaukee
Rotowire
Walker recorded 18 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-101 victory over the Bucks.
The fourth-year forward produced a season scoring high with a strong performance from beyond the arc, as the four made three-pointers tied his career high. Walker has been a valuable part of the Sixers' frontcourt rotation to begin December, averaging 11.7 points, 6.3 boards and 2.3 threes in 18.0 minutes over three games, making a case for a more consistent role.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Goes for nine points in loss
Rotowire
Walker totaled nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 144-103 loss to the Magic.
While Philadelphia is dealing with injuries that have depleted the team's wing depth, Walker likely saw the court for only 21 minutes due to the blowout nature of the game. With Paul George (ankle) questionable to play Friday against the Nets, Walker is a candidate to see the court in meaningful minutes, but his role is uncertain until then.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Sliding to bench Tuesday

With Justin Edwards getting the starting nod against Washington, Walker will retreat to the second unit. The two-way player is averaging 3.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game through three regular-season appearances (one start).
