Unavailable versus Detroit
Walker (foot) won't play in Sunday's game against Detroit, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Analysis
Walker will miss the final game of the 2025-26 campaign. With Walker sidelined, Kobe Brown or Jalen Slawson are in line to replace him in the starting lineup, and it's possible both players are deployed on the first unit.

Questionable for Sunday
Walker is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to a left foot sprain.
Analysis
Walker must have tweaked his foot during Friday's loss to the 76ers and is now in danger of missing Sunday's regular-season finale. If he's forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Jalen Slawson and Obi Toppin.
April 10, 2026
Cleared to play Friday
Walker (back) is available for Friday's game against Philadelphia.
Analysis
Walker has been battling a sacral contusion for weeks. While he has popped up on the injury report since returning from a four-game absence, he's appeared in Indiana's last two contests, most recently amassing 14 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block across 30 minutes in Thursday's 123-94 win over the Nets.

Iffy for Friday
Walker (sacral contusion) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Walker played through this issue Thursday against the Nets and posted 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes. If given the green light, he could see another expanded role with so many guys out for Indiana.
April 10, 2026
Nearly triple-doubles in win
Walker ended Thursday's 123-94 win over the Nets with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes.
Analysis
Although Walker came into this game with a questionable tag due to a sacral contusion, he responded with a near triple-double in the starting lineup. Over his last 11 games, he's averaging 14.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest.
April 9, 2026
Upgraded to available
Walker (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Walker has been cleared to play Thursday despite battling a sacral contusion. Over his last 10 appearances, the forward has averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes per contest while shooting 43.4 percent from three-point land.
April 8, 2026
Uncertain status vs. Brooklyn
Walker is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets due to a sacral contusion.
Analysis
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.
April 8, 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.
Analysis
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.
April 7, 2026
Returning versus Minnesota
Walker (back) will play in Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Analysis
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.
April 6, 2026
Questionable against Timberwolves
Walker (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis
Walker suffered a back contusion after taking a hard fall during the 114-113 loss to the Clippers on March 27. Unfortunately, the injury has caused him to miss Indiana's last four contests. If Walker remains out, Jalen Slawson might stay in the starting lineup, though Kobe Brown is also a candidate to get the starting nod.
