Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Makes 2025-26 debut
Walter (illness) tallied three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 10 minutes Monday in the Raptors' 121-103 loss to the Spurs.
Walter was sidelined for the Raptors' season-opening win over the Hawks last Wednesday due to the illness, but he had been available for both of Toronto's subsequent two contests. He went unused in both of those games as a coach's decision, but Walter was able to crack the rotation Monday while Gradey Dick (eight minutes) had his playing time scaled back. Walter was a minus-10 during his abbreviated time on the court, so it's unclear if head coach Darko Rajakovic will have much motivation to make him a regular part of the second unit moving forward.

Walter (illness) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the Bucks.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Scores 10 points in spot start
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.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Gets starting nod
Walter will enter the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Wizards, according to Raptors reporter Vivek Jacob.
Walter is coming off a dud, as he contributed one point (0-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one turnover across 22 minutes in Friday's 107-105 preseason win over the Celtics. Walter, who is not guaranteed a rotation spot, is getting a huge opportunity Sunday with Brandon Ingram (rest) getting another night off.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Posts dud in win
Walter contributed one point (0-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one turnover across 22 minutes of Friday's 107-105 preseason win over the Celtics.
The Raptors sat out their entire starting lineup Friday, so Walter will be disappointed not to have a larger impact on this game. Toronto's rotation is noticeably deeper this season, particularly on the wings, and Walter's spot is not guaranteed.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Provides 15 points from bench
Walter posted 15 points (4-7 FG, 5-5 FT, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot over 22 minutes in Wednesday's 130-122 preseason win over the Kings.
Walter's participation as a rookie was aided by numerous injuries on Toronto's roster. Still, the team enters the season with a fairly clean bill of health Brandon Ingram's addition doesn't help Walter's cause either. For now, it appears that the Baylor product will compete for minutes in the second unit alongside Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Jamison Battle.

Walter posted 19 points (5-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, three steals and one assist across 27 minutes in Saturday's 98-88 Summer League loss to the Kings.
The 20-year-old tied the game-high marks in steals and three-pointers while finishing as Toronto's second-leading scorer. The No. 19 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Walter will look to build on his rookie campaign, during which he averaged 8.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 21.2 minutes per game in 52 regular-season outings.

He finished the 2024-25 regular season on a high note, averaging 13.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.7 minutes per game over his final seven outings, all starts.

Raptors' Ja'Kobe Walter: Won't play Wednesday
Walter (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Walter missed seven consecutive contests in March while dealing with a strained right hip, and he'll sit out against Charlotte due to right hip flexor tightness. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against Dallas, which is the Raptors' penultimate game of the regular season. A.J. Lawson and Jared Rhoden are candidates for a bump in minutes due to Walter being sidelined.
