Walker won't return to Friday's game against the Clippers, according to Tony East of Forbes.com.
Walker got off to a good start in this one. Unfortunately, he landed hard on his head after a dunk, so he will finish the night with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in four minutes. Kobe Brown started the second half in his place and figures to see more action the rest of the way. Walker will presumably receive more testing ahead of Sunday's meeting with Miami.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Questionable to return Friday
Rotowire
Walker is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Clippers.
Walker appeared to hit his head early in the opening quarter and is in the locker room being evaluated for a concussion. If the 22-year-old forward is unable to return, Kobe Brown and Obi Toppin will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Scores 15 points in loss
Rotowire
Walker ended with 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 loss to the Lakers.
Walker's play this season has been a bright spot in what's otherwise been a lost season for the Pacers. The third-year forward is ending the season on a strong run and has scored in double digits in each of his last eight games, averaging 15.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in that span. Furthermore, Walker is averaging 14.9 points, 7.2 boards and 3.8 assists per game since the All-Star break while starting in each of his 18 appearances and averaging 31.5 minutes per game. Look for Walker to remain in the starting lineup in the final weeks of the regular season amid what has been a career-best season for him.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Goes for 21 points in loss
Rotowire
Walker amassed 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 134-119 loss to San Antonio.
Walker continues to play starter-level minutes, unlike the majority of his teammates. The 21 points were the most he has scored in his past 11 games, a welcome sight for anyone considering him a drop. Given his role feels secure, Walker should be held onto in most leagues, providing managers with a solid plug-and-play option.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Another serviceable effort in loss
Rotowire
Walker contributed 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 127-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Walker continues to play a sizeable role, having now logged at least 30 minutes in six of the past seven games. The rotation in Indiana has been almost impossible to project over the past month, although Walker seems to have avoided all the nonsense. While his upside remains somewhat limited, he is worth rostering in most formats simply due to the fact that he plays heavy minutes on a nightly basis.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Stuffs stat sheet in loss Sunday
Rotowire
Walker finished with 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block across 30 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 loss to the Bucks.
Walker continued to produce offensively, and the third-year forward has emerged as a reliable presence for the Pacers on both ends of the court this season. He's scored in double digits in all but two of his 13 appearances since the All-Star break, and he's taken advantage of the increased volume he's had of late. Walker has attempted at least 10 shots in all but three of his outings since the break, and although he's shooting under 45.0 percent from the field, that uptick in opportunity should boost his fantasy floor in most formats.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Just misses double-double
Rotowire
Walker posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.
Walker continues to produce for the Pacers, coming close to what would've been his fourth double-double of the year. Even when Pascal Siakam (knee) returns, Walker appears to be solidified as a starter. Walker has started 13 consecutive games, during which he has averaged 15.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Will play Tuesday
Rotowire
Walker (ankle/back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
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.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Efficient in loss to Portland
Rotowire
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.
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.

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.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Puts up 17 in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rotowire
Walker produced 21 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
Walker scored a game-high 21 points Sunday, reaching the 20-point marker for the sixth time this year. The last-place Pacers look to be just about ready to embrace a youth movement to close out a losing season, which should keep Walker close to must-roster territory in most fantasy formats. The third-year forward has started seven consecutive contests, during which Walker has averaged 16.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.7 minutes per game.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Another productive showing
Rotowire
Walker logged 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 loss to Dallas.
The last-place Pacers continue to reel in the standings, but they're getting promising results from Walker when he gets the chance to start. Walker has started 10 games since the start of the new year, averaging 17.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.3 minutes per game during this stretch. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) and Aaron Nesmith (ankle) both likely out until March, Walker remains close to a must-roster fantasy player in most formats.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Career-high 14 boards in loss
Rotowire
Walker finished Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Wizards with 19 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 30 minutes.
Walker did not have the most efficient night from the field and committed five turnovers, but the third-year pro put together a strong stat line during Thursday's loss. He led the Pacers in points, rebounds and assists, and his 14 boards were a career high. Walker should continue to operate in an expanded role in the absence of Johnny Furphy, the latter of whom will miss the rest of the regular season due to a torn right ACL.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Paces Indiana in victory
Rotowire
Walker finished Wednesday's 115-110 win over the Nets with 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes.
Walker returned to action Wednesday after missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to an illness. The third-year forward saw an increased role in the win, as the Pacers were without multiple key contributors. Walker racked up a game-high 23 points, reaching the 20-point threshold for the fifth time this season. The 22-year-old has logged 20-plus minutes in 13 straight appearances and should continue to see meaningful playing time while Indiana begins looking toward the future.
