Iffy for Friday

Uncertain status vs. Brooklyn
Walker is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets due to a sacral contusion.
Analyse
Walker supplied 11 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 loss to the Timberwolves. Even though he should play regularly if healthy down the stretch, this contusion puts his status in jeopardy for Thursday's game. If Walker can't suit up, look for Jalen Slawson and Quenton Jackson to see more minutes.
8. April 2026
Strong two-way display in loss
Walker supplied 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analyse
Walker might have needed 12 shots to score 11 points, but he salvaged his fantasy line by delivering solid numbers in other categories, including a three-steal performance. It was the fourth time he recorded three or more swipes in a game. This was Walker's return from a four-game absence due to a back contusion, and he's expected to remain in the starting lineup in the Pacers' final three games of the regular season.

Returning versus Minnesota

Analyse
Walker sustained a back contusion during the 114-113 loss to the Clippers on March 27. As a result, he missed Indiana's last four contests. Walker will presumably return to the starting lineup, and with the Pacers down their top offensive producers, he might be busy on the scoring end.

Questionable for Sunday

Analyse
