Raptors’ Ja’Kobe Walter available vs. Spurs after seven-game absence

Though still shorthanded, the Toronto Raptors are set to get a boost to their lineup on Sunday.

Wing Ja’Kobe Walter has been listed as available for the team’s game against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday after missing the last seven outings due to a hip flexor injury, the team announced.

Walter, who the Raptors selected 19th overall at this past year’s draft, has been out since March 7 with his hip issue.

Over 44 games in his rookie season, the 20-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 20.0 minutes per game.

The Raptors will still be without some key contributors, however, as Immanuel Quickley (rest), Jakob Poeltl (rest), Gradey Dick (knee), Brandon Ingram (ankle), A.J. Lawson (G League) and Jared Rhoden (G League) have been listed as out.

The Raptors are currently 24-46 and sit 11th in the Eastern Conference. They’re in the midst of a three-game losing skid.
