Walker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker will miss a 12th straight game Tuesday, but he's nearing a return. The backup wing was expected to play 5-on-5 last week and return sometime this week, but it's unclear when exactly he'll be cleared to suit up again. Following Tuesday's game in Detroit, the Nets will return home for a matchup against the Bucks on Wednesday before embarking on a four-game road trip, which starts Friday in Washington.

The Nets announced Wednesday that Walker (hamstring) expects to progress to 5-on-5 work in the coming days with the goal of returning to the lineup next week, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker has missed the last eight games due to a strained left hamstring but has progressed in his recovery recently. While he's been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks and should be sidelined for at least a few more matchups, he appears to be closing in on a return to game action. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see Walker face some sort of minutes restriction once he's cleared to return to the Nets' lineup.

Walker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker hasn't played since Nov. 30 due to a left hamstring strain. He's due for another evaluation soon, but until he returns to practice, he can be considered doubtful moving forward.

Walker is dealing with a left hamstring strain that is expected to sideline him for Brooklyn's next seven games, at minimum, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker missed Saturday's victory over Orlando due to the hamstring strain, but Tuesday's prognosis is more serious than his initial day-to-day estimation. Walker has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, and coach Jacque Vaughn said Walker won't travel with the Nets for an upcoming five-game road trip, which ends on Dec. 18 against Utah. Cam Thomas and Dennis Smith recently returning from injury gives Brooklyn enough backcourt depth, but the Nets' inability to have collective health as a group remains an ongoing theme of the season.

Walker has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Magic due to a left hamstring strain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was held to single-digit scoring totals in four of his last five appearances, and he'll be unavailable Saturday for the first time since the Nets' regular-season opener. However, Royce O'Neale (hip) isn't on the injury report, and he could see increased run alongside Cam Thomas and Mikal Bridges.

Walker ended Sunday's 121-99 loss to the 76ers with 26 points (9-17 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was the first guard off the bench for Brooklyn with Cam Thomas (ankle), Ben Simmons (hip) and Dennis Smith (back) all inactive, going on to lead all Nets players in scoring and threes made in his best offensive showing of the year. Walker, who recorded his highest minute total of the season, set a season high in scoring while posting his second straight contest with 20 or more points. Walker has recorded 20 or more points with three or more threes on three occasions this year.

Walker recorded 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 122-115 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Walker has been impressive off the bench for the Nets this season, and even though he'd see an uptick in his fantasy upside if he were a regular starter, he's scoring enough to remain valuable in fantasy, regardless of the format. Aside from scoring in double digits in all but one game this season, it's worth noting Walker has reached the 20-point threshold in three of his last five appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Walker is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to a left knee contusion, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker sustained his knee injury during Sunday's win over the Wizards. Although he was able to return to the game, he had a limited impact, totaling five points, two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday, but Spencer Dinwiddie, Royce O'Neale and Mikal Bridges could see larger roles if Walker is out.
