Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Scores 10 points in spot start
Rotowire
Walter had 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Sunday's preseason victory over Washington.
Coming off a poor performance Friday, Walter was inserted into the starting lineup, with Brandon Ingram given the night off. In what was a much-improved effort, Walter pushed his claim for a regular rotation spot, something that is far from a guarantee. Despite a strong end to the 2024-25 season, Walter will have to claw his way to playing time, assuming the Toronto roster can remain healthy.

Rotowire
Mamukelashvili closed with eight points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the Wizards.
Mamukelashvili remained in the starting lineup Sunday, delivering another intriguing performance. While Jakob Poeltl is locked in as the starting center for the upcoming season, Mamukelashvili has a shot at the primary backup role. Both he and Jonathan Mogbo will be battling for minutes, with neither a clear frontrunner at this point.
