Lonnie Walker IV News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Scores season-high 17 points Walker had 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), one rebound and three assists across 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-105 loss to Boston.

Impact Walker made the most of the opportunity to face the team that waived him just before the start of the regular season. The veteran, who spent time with Zalgiris Kaunas in the Euroleague before signing with the 76ers on Feb. 18, should continue to see steady minutes off the bench, though he's not likely to be a reliable fantasy option in most formats unless the 76ers decide to start tanking, which could translate in a bigger role for Walker.

Logs season highs in defeat Walker totaled 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 119-102 loss to Portland.

Impact Walker led Philadelphia's second unit in scoring during an efficient outing Monday. The 26-year-old also tied the team-high mark in steals, recording season-high marks in points, steals and playing time through five regular-season appearances. Walker could receive an uptick in minutes during Tuesday's matchup against the Timberwolves as well, with Tyrese Maxey (back), Kelly Oubre (illness), Paul George (groin), Kyle Lowry (hip) and Justin Edwards (ankle) all uncertain to suit up.

Sixers: Lonnie Walker IV reaps benefits of 'commitment' during his time in Europe Reading native is back in the NBA after half a year in the EuroLeague

Making Sixers debut Saturday Head coach Nick Nurse said Walker will make his 76ers debut against the Nets on Saturday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Walker opted to play with Zalgiris Kaunas in Lithuania after being waived by the Celtics in mid-October, but he opted to return to the NBA after signing a two-year, $3.7 million contract with the 76ers on Tuesday. He last saw NBA regular-season action during the 2023-24 campaign with the Nets, during which he averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 17.4 minutes per game across 58 games.

May be ready Saturday Walker may be available for Saturday's game against Brooklyn despite his deal still not being official, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Walker signed a two-year deal with the Sixers on Tuesday after playing overseas for some time, but he may be ready to make his season debut as early as Saturday. Walker will likely play behind Kelly Oubre and Jared Butler.

Inks two-year deal with Philly Walker has signed a two-year, $3 million contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Walker will return to the NBA after spending time with Zalgiris Kaunas in the Euroleague in Lithuania. The veteran guard has been trying to land with an NBA team for quite some time and now gets an opportunity to prove his worth on a 76ers squad dealing with several costly injuries all season. The 24-year-old journeyman will play for his fourth NBA team after landing in Philadelphia, with his prior stints being with the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets. He should provide an offensive boost in the backcourt while providing some reliable outside shooting with a career average of 35.6 percent from deep.

Impact Walker's durability has limited him in recent years, failing to exceed 58 games across either of the past two campaigns. Meanwhile, a larger role exists in Europe as opposed to the role-player duties he would be tasked with if offered a minimum contract in the NBA. Walker will presumably look to thrive overseas and return to a contender prior to the playoffs -- although remaining in Europe is a distinct possibility.

Returns to bench Walker will return to the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports

Impact No surprise here, as Boston will have most of their starters returning from a rest day. Walker has four preseason appearances under his belt so far with averages of 7.3 points, 2.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers

Scores 20 points Sunday Walker scored 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and dished out one assist across 30 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 preseason win over the Raptors.

Impact Walker was one of several Boston players who took advantage of the opportunity to see regular minutes Sunday, but that's not going to be the case in the regular season. Walker will fight for backup minutes, meaning he shouldn't have an established role -- or a lot of fantasy upside, for that matter.

Enters starting lineup Walker will start Sunday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Walker will find himself in the starting lineup Sunday due to the Celtics benching most of their key players for the second half of a back-to-back set. Walker will likely not see much of a role come the regular season.

Impact Walker will bring some emergency depth to the wings in Boston, but he's likely slated for minutes in the teens on this loaded Celtics team, so he won't be a guy worth drafting in most fantasy formats.

Decent output off bench Friday Walker accumulated 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 111-107 loss to New York.

Impact Walker needed 13 shots to score 15 points coming off the bench, but he was a standout performer for the Nets due to his ability to impact the game on both ends of the court despite not starting. Walker was unable to secure a starting role all season long, but he had more than a few decent performances with the second unit. Walker has scored in double digits in 27 different appearances, but only five of those have come since the beginning of March.

Strong from deep in double figures Walker notched 14 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 20 minutes in Monday's 133-111 loss to Indiana.

Impact Walker connected on a team-high-tying trio of threes while ending as one of two Nets bench players with 10 or more points and as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Walker got back into double figures in scoring after failing to do so in his last 10 outings, tallying 14 or more points for the 18th time off the bench.

APRIL 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet again in victory Walker closed with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist across seven minutes during Friday's 125-108 win over Chicago.

Impact Walker was used sparingly again Friday, playing fewer than 15 minutes for the ninth time in the past 10 games. Outside of a few outlier performances, Walker has been mediocre this season, and that might be putting it nicely. Barring injuries to other players, Walker can be safely ignored outside of deeper formats.
