Latest News about Ja’Kobe Walter
28/10/2026
Walter took over the Toronto Raptors' starting shooting guard spot after the team announced that Kawhi Leonard would be shut down for at least a week with swelling in his left knee. He made his first start in that role with 22 points, and he later said Leonard's absence gave him a longer run in the lineup. Early in the 2026-27 season he has been a key part of the Raptors' rotation, though his form has since dipped.
