  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Slots into rotation

    Rotowire May 13, 2024

    Walker provided five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over nine minutes during Sunday's 121-89 victory over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Walker played nine minutes off the bench, joining his fellow benchwarmers as the Pacers blew out the Knicks. While it was nice to see the rookie on the floor, there was possibly a case to be made for him playing even more minutes given the nature of the score.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Posts diverse line in win

    Rotowire Mar 26, 2024

    Walker notched eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes in Monday's 133-116 victory over the Clippers. Walker had been left out of the rotation in both of the Pacers' last two games, but with Aaron Nesmith (knee) sitting out Monday, Indiana was able to open up some major minutes on the second unit for the rookie. Head coach Rick Carlisle likely didn't plan going into the night to give Walker such a sizable role, but the 20-year-old earned his minutes by capitalizing on his open looks and collapsing the defense as a facilitator. Nesmith could be back in action for Wednesday's game at Chicago to bring the Pacers back to full strength, but Walker might have shown enough Monday to get minutes at the expense of Obi Toppin, Jalen Smith or Doug McDermott.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Good performance in close loss

    Rotowire Mar 14, 2024

    Walker finished Wednesday's 132-129 overtime loss to the Bulls with 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 24 minutes. With Walker's performance Wednesday, he's appeared in five straight games -- the most of his career. Coach Rick Carlisle still doesn't seem to trust the rookie enough to give him meaningful run regularly, but it's encouraging to see him hold his own in a close game. The Pacers are ultimately trying to win games and make noise in the playoffs, so despite Walker being the No. 8 overall pick in 2023, he won't play if his coach doesn't believe he's contributing to winning ball. Per 36 minutes, the Houston product is averaging 13.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Recalled to NBA

    Rotowire Feb 6, 2024

    Indiana recalled Walker from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Tuesday. Walker was assigned to the G League earlier in the day and posted 11 points, seven rebounds and two steals during a blowout loss to the Delaware Blue Coats. However, with Indiana's frontcourt healthy, Walker hasn't been able to crack the NBA rotation.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Back from G League

    Rotowire Jan 28, 2024

    Indiana recalled Walker from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Saturday. Walker is back with the Pacers after posting 20 points (8-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes Saturday in the Mad Ants' 114-113 loss to the Westchester Knicks. The rookie first-round pick has appeared in three NBA contests since Jan. 15, averaging 11.0 points in 21.3 minutes per game.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Steps up with well-rounded outing

    Rotowire Jan 16, 2024

    Walker tallied eight points (3-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks across 26 minutes Monday in the Pacers' 132-105 loss to the Jazz. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft has largely been left out of head coach Rick Carlisle's rotation this season, but Walker had several factors that led to him receiving his most minutes of the campaign Monday. In addition to missing three key rotation players due to injury in Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring), Aaron Nesmith (shins) and Bruce Brown (knee), Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) exited the game early, while the likes of Jalen Smith, Myles Turner and Isaiah Jackson all endured foul trouble. The missing players as well as the blowout led to some elevated run, and Walker made the most of the opportunity with a fantasy-friendly line. In spite of the strong showing, Walker could find himself back outside of the rotation Thursday in Sacramento if most of those injured players are available, but the rookie will be someone to keep an eye on later in the season if he finds himself in a more stable role on Indiana's second unit.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Will be available Sunday

    Rotowire Jan 14, 2024

    Walker (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. Walker has missed back-to-back games due to a respiratory illness but will be available Sunday. With Aaron Nesmith (lower leg) and Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) both out, Walker could see a few minutes, but the rookie isn't expected to garner a fantasy-relevant role.

    Rotowire Jan 13, 2024

    Walker (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets. Walker is in danger of missing his third consecutive game due to an upper respiratory infection. However, the rookie forward's potential absence shouldn't affect Indiana's rotation.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Back with NBA club

    Rotowire Nov 29, 2023

    The Pacers recalled Walker from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants on Wednesday. Walker is back with the parent club after he suited up for the Mad Ants on Tuesday, playing 26 minutes and finishing with 20 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in a 131-97 win over the Windy City Bulls. Though he should be available for the Pacers' next game Thursday in Miami, the rookie first-round pick hasn't been a regular part of coach Rick Carlisle's rotation this season.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Goes through practice

    Rotowire Oct 4, 2023

    Walker (elbow) was able to participate in Tuesday's training camp practice. Walker had a minor procedure to remove loose bodies in his right elbow in mid-July, but it's safe to say that he's 100 percent to begin training camp. Indiana spent its first practice with a clear focus on the defensive end, an area where the rookie is expected to thrive. His battle for playing time with Obi Toppin is something to watch during preseason action.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Undergoes minor surgery

    Rotowire Jul 19, 2023

    Walker underwent a minor procedure Wednesday to remove loose bodies in his right elbow but is expected to be fully recovered by the start of training camp in September, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The No. 8 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Walker impressed with the Pacers during the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 14.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 30.1 minutes per game over four appearances. Assuming his recovery from the procedure goes as planned and he's fully cleared for camp, Walker will likely compete with offseason pickup Obi Toppin for the starting power forward job.

  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Won't play Sunday

    Rotowire Jul 16, 2023

    Walker won't play in Sunday's Summer League finale against the Pistons for undisclosed reasons, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. Walker starred for Indiana in Summer League, averaging 14.3 points and 7.8 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game across four appearances, but he won't suit up for the finale. It's unclear if he picked up an injury, or if Indiana has simply seen enough from the rookie first-round pick and wants to allow other players to get an extended opportunity. Either way, Walker will turn his sights on preparing for his first NBA regular season.
