Jabari Walker (concussion) won't be playing against the Washington Wizards on Monday. Walker has been in the league's concussion protocol, and he will miss his second straight game due to a head injury he suffered in a loss to the Knicks on Wednesday. In his third full season in the NBA, the 22-year-old has made 50 appearances, posting averages of 4.7 and 3.5 rebounds across 11.8 minutes per contest. His next chance to suit up comes on Wednesday against Memphis, but it's unclear if he will be available.

Jabari Walker (hand) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Walker was tagged as questionable coming into this game due to a hand issue, but is feeling good enough to play now. He'll likely play an increased role with
Deni Avdija (quad) remaining sidelined for the second straight game. Walker should be considered a decent low-end streaming option while Avdija is out.

Jabari Walker (hip) will be available for Saturday's clash against the Pelicans. The team has upgraded him from a questionable status. Walker returns after missing five games with a right hip inflammation. The 21-year-old was rolling before getting hurt, and it will be interesting to see if he can carry on the momentum Saturday. Walker is certainly in a good position to post a third double-double in five appearances, as
Jerami Grant (hamstring) remains out, and his absence leaves a lot of frontcourt minutes to fill.

Jabari Walker (hip) was upgraded to questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans. The 2022 No. 57 overall pick has been a critical component of Chauncey Billups' rotation this season, averaging 8.5 and 6.6 rebounds in 22 minutes per contest. He's missed the last five games because of a hip issue and was initially labeled doubtful for the meeting with New Orleans, so he's at least moving in a favorable direction. However, the 21-year-old still has an uphill battle before being cleared. Fortunately, Billups indicated Walker is "getting close," meaning he could be back in the next few games. With
Jerami Grant (hamstring) also in line to sit out on Saturday,
Toumani Camara and
Kris Murray should continue to warrant attention from fantasy managers.
