2025-26 Impact -3.9 per 100 (O -2.4, D -1.5), 442nd of 450
Next game at NOP: 11.8 pts (5-20), 5.3 reb, 2.7 ast
What changed
Minutes+6.5Probably real
Walker's playing time is up 6.5 minutes a game over his 26 games since Feb 3 (30.0 vs 23.5). Most of it is a teammate's absence: Bennedict Mathurin (32 MPG before) left the team, plus 1 more key player out, after he moved into the starting five. Probably real: about 75% should hold.

Day-To-DayIt's unclear why Walker will be held out of the Pacers' penultimate preseason game. His final chance to play before the regular season will come against the Bucks on Friday. Expected back: 2026-10-16.
