LONNIE WALKER IV NEWS

Should play Monday Walker (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Nets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Walker returned from a month-long absence Saturday and had 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes against the Celtics, and he's expected to be available again Monday. The 24-year-old came off the bench Saturday and could continue to do so for the near future as he gets his legs back following the lengthy absence.

Offers efficient scoring in return Walker (knee) finished with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 125-121 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Impact Making his return from a month-long absence due to left knee tendinitis, Walker came off the bench for the first time in his 33 appearances on the season for the Lakers. Having Walker play off the second unit might have just been a measure for head coach Darvin Ham to better manage the 24-year-old's minutes coming back from injury, but Walker won't be guaranteed to see a major spike in playing time even if he replaces Troy Brown or Dennis Schroder in the starting five at some point in the near future. While both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are healthy and available and while Russell Westbrook is handling a high-usage role on the second unit, it will be tough to rely on any members of the Lakers' supporting cast for consistent production, at least on the offensive end.

Will play Saturday Walker (knee) will be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Walker will return from a month-long absence with tendinitis in his left knee but will be limited to 20-25 minutes Saturday. Fantasy managers should approach Walker with caution, considering he may have to shake off some rust on top of being under restrictions. Regardless, his return may take minutes away from Max Christie and Troy Brown.

Limited Saturday if cleared to play Walker will test his knee out in pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's game against the Celtics but suggested he will be limited to 20-25 minutes if cleared to suit up, Dave McMenami...

Impact Walker hasn't played in a game since Dec. 28, so it's hardly a surprise that he will be limited if given the green light to take the floor. Walker has started all 32 of his appearances this season, so it's unclear if his limited role and extended absence will mean he first appears off the bench, but that should all settle ahead of the 8:30 PM ET opening tipoff.

Impact Saturday marks the second consecutive game Walker has been labeled questionable, so he's nearing a return from a 14-game absence. Once cleared, he'll presumably be on a minutes limit. In 29.8 minutes per game this season, Walker is averaging 14.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Ruled out Wednesday Walker (knee) will not play in Wednesday's game against San Antonio, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Walker was upgraded to questionable ahead of Wednesday's tilt but will ultimately miss a 14th straight contest with a left knee injury. His questionable status is certainly an encouraging sign for fantasy managers, as it indicates Walker is approaching a return to the hardwood. His next opportunity to do so will come Saturday in Boston.

Chance to play Wednesday Walker (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker hasn't played since Dec. 28 due to left knee tendinitis, but he's listed as questionable for the first time since Jan. 3, which suggests he's on track to return soon even if he remains sidelined Wednesday. Before his injury, the fifth-year guard was playing well to start his Lakers tenure, posting 14.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 29.8 minutes across 32 appearances (all starts). The Lakers recently traded for Rui Hachimura and are expected to get Anthony Davis (foot) back Wednesday, but when he returns to full strength, Walker figures to reprise his role in Los Angeles' starting five.
