Will play Tuesday
Walker (ankle/back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
Walker was initially listed as probable due to a right ankle sprain and mid-back soreness, though he'll shed that tag and suit up Tuesday. Over his last five appearances, the 22-year-old forward has averaged 15.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 29.0 minutes per contest.

Probable for Tuesday
Walker is probable for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a right ankle sprain and mid-back soreness.
Analysis
Walker tallied 14 points during Sunday's matchup against Portand but evidently emerged from the game a bit banged up. Even so, he appears on track to play Tuesday in Sacramento.

Efficient in loss to Portland
Walker ended Sunday's 131-111 loss to the Trail Blazers with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 31 minutes.
Analysis
The Pacers struggled massively on defense in this game, but Walker was efficient with his shot while scoring in double digits for a fifth consecutive contest. The third-year is having a career-best season in 2025-26, averaging 11.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals per game in 63 appearances (28 starts). The uptick in his scoring numbers has been noticeable, as Walker has scored in double digits in all but one of his last 19 contests dating back to Jan. 21. Per Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, Walker twisted his ankle at the end of Sunday's game, and while it sounds minor, it's worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's game in Sacramento.
March 7, 2026
Solid effort in loss
Walker logged 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 128-117 loss to the Lakers.
Analysis
Even with Indiana getting some regular starters back recently, Walker continues to play a consistent role and put up solid numbers across the board. Since Jan. 21, Walker has appeared in 18 of Indiana's 19 games (14 starts), averaging 16.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.1 minutes.
March 5, 2026
Puts up 17 in loss Wednesday
Walker recorded 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 loss to the Clippers.
Analysis
Walker is undoubtedly going through the most prominent stretch of his brief NBA career, and he's making the most of the expanded role. Walker, a first-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has surpassed the 15-point line in three straight games and in five of the Pacers' seven games since the All-Star break. Over that seven-game stretch, Walker is averaging 15.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per contest. He needs to improve on his efficiency, however, as he's shooting just 41.8 percent from the floor and 34.1 percent from deep in that stretch.
