Walker last played for the Mavericks in the 2022-23 season, during which he averaged 8.0 points, 2.1 assists and 1.8 rebounds across 16.0 minutes in nine regular-season games. The 34-year-old is most notably remembered for his eight-year tenure with the Hornets; he averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds while being named an All-Star three times with the Hornets, and once with the Celtics. Over the entirety of his 12-year career, Walker averaged 18.0 points, 4.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals while shooting 36.0 percent from deep.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has seen his role in the NBA decline over the past two seasons with the Knicks and the Mavericks. He averaged 3.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game over 37 appearances with New York during the 2021-22 campaign and averaged just 8.0 minutes per game over nine appearances with the Mavericks last year before being waived in January. The 33-year-old should have an opportunity to see more playing time overseas.

The Mavericks waived Walker on Friday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker is being waived because his salary would have become fully guaranteed Saturday. The Mavericks also want to give rookie Jaden Hardy a path for playing time, and Walker had been standing in the way without providing a major lift to Dallas' second unit. Walker averaged 8.0 points, 2.1 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 16.0 minutes across nine games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has missed back-to-back games due to a left knee injury, but it appears he's on track to return Tuesday. If he's indeed available, the veteran point guard is expected to have his playing time monitor carefully, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com.

Walker (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Walker is questionable to miss his third straight game with a left knee injury. The veteran guard's next opportunity to suit up will be Thursday's contest versus the Rockets if he's ruled out Tuesday. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said that Walker playing 42 minutes on Dec. 17 caused issues with his knee, and his playing time will have to be carefully managed, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. For fantasy purposes, Walker is someone managers in daily leagues can monitor, but chances are he'll be far too inconsistent to feel good about starting in weekly leagues.

Walker (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Walker will miss his second straight game Sunday with a left knee injury. Jaden Hardy (back) and Frank Ntilikina are candidates to receive extended playing time with him out. Walker's next chance to play is Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.

Walker is out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to left knee injury recovery.

EDGE Analysis

Walker delivered 14 points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 24 minutes off the bench in Monday's 116-106 loss at Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Walker returned to the bench after Luka Doncic moved to back to the starting lineup, but he saw extended minutes after the former was ejected in the third quarter. Walker has scored in double digits in his last two outings, but he should continue to fill a backup role behind Doncic. Walker should only see big minutes if the Slovenian needs rest or picks up an injury.

Walker isn't starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Walker drew a spot start at point guard Saturday night with Luka Doncic (quadriceps) out, but he'll return to his usual role on the bench with Doncic back in action Monday evening.
