Ja’Kobe Walter’s availability remains uncertain for Friday’s game against the Bucks due to illness. After missing the season opener, the team might see increased contributions from Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji if Walter is unable to play. Dick impressed with 21 points in just 24 minutes in the previous game, while Agbaji logged 20 minutes, signaling their potential roles in filling the void.

The Toronto Raptors have announced that Immanuel Quickley, Ja’Kobe Walter, RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, and Sandro Mamukelashvili will start Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards. With Jakob Poeltl and Brandon Ingram sidelined, this opens the door for Walter and Mamukelashvili to make an impact. Walter, in particular, has an opportunity to distinguish himself amidst the team’s depth at the wing position.

Ja’Kobe Walter showcased his versatility in Toronto’s win over Sacramento, recording 15 points, two rebounds, and multiple defensive stats. While his path to substantial playing time is hindered by the Raptors’ depth at wing, his performance indicates potential for consistent bench contributions. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Walter for streaming opportunities, though he remains a non-essential draft pick in standard redraft leagues at this time.
