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.

Walker (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Sacramento.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Late scratch Saturday
Rotowire
Walker has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets due to an illness, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Walker was not listed on the 76ers' injury report Friday, indicating that the illness is new and will put him in jeopardy of missing the second leg of the Sixers' back-to-back set against the Trail Blazers on Sunday. With Walker sidelined, the 76ers will rely more heavily on the likes of Trendon Watford, Dalen Terry and MarJon Beauchamp.

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: Double-double off bench
Rotowire
Walker logged 22 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during the 76res' 106-102 win over the Jazz on Wednesday.
Walker posted his second double-double of the season in Wednesday's win, finishing with a season high in points and as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind Tyrese Maxey (25 points). Walker was averaging 12.0 minutes per game prior to the All-Star break, but the 2022 second-rounder has seen more play off the bench as of late and has posted back-to-back games of 20-plus points. Unlike Tuesday's blowout loss to the Hawks, Wednesday's contest was a close contest for most of the night, and it's worth noting that Walker played the entire fourth quarter. That extra time has come due to the recent absences of VJ Edgecombe (back) and Kelly Oubre (illness), but perhaps Walker's play during the Sixers' back-to-back set will earn him more consistent minutes down the stretch as Philadelphia looks to improve its seeding ahead of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Drops season-high 20 points
Rotowire
Walker totaled 20 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and seven rebounds in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 131-91 loss to San Antonio.
Walker delivered a season-high 20 points, all of which came in the final 19 minutes of the game. Philadelphia was completely dominated in this game, allowing the second and third units to play extended minutes. While this was a good offensive showing, there is no need to overreact given the scoreline.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Sticks in rotation
Rotowire
Walker provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 10 minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 victory over the Pacers.
Walker suited up for the fourth straight game, although he failed to score in just 10 minutes. While he has been thereabouts when it comes to the nightly rotation this season, on the whole, he has struggled to deliver meaningful contributions. Through 49 regular-season appearances, he has averaged just 3.6 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Upgraded to standard contract
Rotowire
Walker agreed to a two-year, $3.35 million contract with the 76ers on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Walker had been signed to a two-way deal with Philadelphia, but because he had exhausted his eligibility at the NBA level after he was active for the maximum 50 games, the 76ers upgraded him to a standard contract to ensure that he'll be available coming out of the All-Star break. Before using up his eligibility and not appearing in any of the 76ers' last four games, Walker had been a fringe member of the rotation. In his 45 appearances (six starts) so far this season, Walker averaged 3.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 12.1 minutes per game.

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.
Walker posted six points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 14 minutes during Monday's 115-102 win over the Raptors.
Walker logged double-digit minutes for just the third time in the past eight games, affording him very little time in which to produce. In 13 appearances over the past month, Walker has averaged just 3.2 points and 3.0 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 350 in nine-category leagues.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Exits rotation Tuesday
Rotowire
Walker (coach's decision) went unused in Tuesday's 139-136 overtime win over the Grizzlies.
For just the second time all season, Walker failed to get off the bench, as head coach Nick Nurse opted to use a streamlined nine-man rotation in the tightly contested win. A two-way player, Walker has been active for all 31 of the 76ers' games this season, so he'll be eligible to suit up for just 19 of the team's final 51 contests unless Philadelphia converts him to a standard deal.

76ers' Jabari Walker: Not starting Friday
Rotowire
Walker won't start against the Bulls on Friday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
With Dominick Barlow (illness) back in action, Walker will slide to the second unit. In his last five outings off the bench, the 23-year-old has averaged 3.8 points and 4.0 rebounds across 16.0 minutes per tilt.

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: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Walker logged 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 121-102 win over the Wizards.
Walker recorded his first double-double of the season, taking advantage of some extra playing time down the stretch. The 24 minutes represented a season high, being just the third time he has exceeded 20 minutes thus far. While this was an encouraging performance, there is no reason to make him a priority pickup outside deeper formats.

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.
