Goes long in win Walker produced 14 points (4-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal over 46 minutes during Tuesday's 86-77 2OT win over Kentucky.

Impact Walker held steady during one of the tougher games he'll face early in the season, though head coach Tom Izzo is known for keeping his players on their toes. Additionally, veteran leadership like Walker is often reward on his team and he's now scored in the double-digits in two straight games against good opposition. Following Tuesday's game, Walker needs to work on his consistency from the floor but is otherwise doing well to improve in his second season for Sparty.

Michigan State PG Tyson Walker's status unknown for NCAA Tournament first round Sprained ankle kept Walker out of most of Saturday's loss to Purdue

MARCH 14, 2022 • 247SPORTS.COM

Status unclear for NCAA Tournament Coach Tom Izzo said after Saturday's loss to Purdue that Walker's (ankle) status is uncertain ahead of the NCAA Tournament, Kyle Austin of MLive.com reports.

Impact Walker sustained an ankle sprain early in Saturday's Big Ten Tournament semifinal and returned to the court only briefly in the second half. Izzo said after the game that Walker's ankle isn't broken, but the issue will require some time to heal. A.J. Hoggard played the entire second half with Walker sidelined, and he should see increased run if the junior is unavailable to begin the NCAA Tournament.

Doubtful to return Walker (ankle) is considered doubtful to retake the floor during Saturday's Big Ten Tournament semifinal versus Purdue, Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal reports.

Impact Walker has tested out his ankle on multiple occasions, so it doesn't seem like the issue should have long-term implications. With the Spartans trailing by double digits early in the second half, Walker may wind up with some extra time to rest up before the NCAA Tournament kicks off next week.

Back on bench after room visit Walker has returned to the bench after a trip to the locker room following an apparent ankle injury, Kyle Austin of MLive.com reports.

Impact Walker attempted to retake the floor following his ankle issue but had to check out again and went back to the locker room to get some additional treatment on the ankle. His return to the bench is a positive sign, though it remains to be seen if he will rejoin the action.

Rejoins starting five Walker will start Sunday's game against Maryland, Kyle Austin of MLive.com reports.

Impact Walker came off the bench last time out against Ohio State but will make his second start in the past three games Sunday. He's averaged 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 steals in his 24 previous starts this season.

Scores seven off bench Walker (knee) totaled seven points (2-6 FG, 2-2 FT, 1-1 3PT), two rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes Thursday against Ohio State.

Impact Walker reportedly tweaked his knee during Tuesday's matchup with Michigan, but he appeared to be at 100 percent after logging 27 minutes in the loss. He figures to come off the bench moving forward with A.J. Hoggard (illness) now cleared to return.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in starting lineup Walker (knee) will not start Thursday's game against Ohio State, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Walker's departure from the starting lineup was likely a planned move with AJ Hoggard set to retake his spot in the unit. That being said, the junior tweaked his knee in Tuesday's game against Michigan, so it will be worth monitoring if he's limited in any fashion Thursday.

Tweaks knee Tuesday Walker suffered a knee injury during Tuesday's 87-70 loss to Michigan, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports. He had 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, four...

Impact Walker entered the starting five after coming off the bench the past five games, and he had solid production despite the knee issue. It's a quick turnaround for Thursday's game at Ohio State, and he should be considered questionable for that contest.

Drills game-winner Saturday Walker racked up eight points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 68-65 victory over Purdue.

Impact Walker came off the bench once again Saturday and wasn't particularly efficient from the floor, but he drilled a go-ahead three-pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining in the game. Across his five appearances since taking on a bench role, he's averaged 13.2 points and 3.6 assists in 21.2 minutes per game.
