Walter (hip) is available for Sunday's game against San Antonio, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walter will return from a seven-game absence streak Sunday due to a right hip strain. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the rookie first-round pick operate under a minutes restriction during his return. Over his last five outings (two starts), Walter has averaged 9.6 points and 4.8 rebounds across 24.4 minutes per game.
