Ja'Kobe Walter of Toronto Raptors Out Due to Right Hip Flexor Tightness

Ja'Kobe Walter will not play for the Toronto Raptors against the Charlotte Hornets on April 9, 2025. He is out due to right hip flexor tightness. This is not Walter's first hip issue this season, as he missed games in March for a similar injury.

In the current season, Walter has played 52 games and averaged 8.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. His absence could open up more minutes for A.J. Lawson and Jared Rhoden in the shooting guard position. The game is scheduled at Scotiabank Arena, and the Raptors have not yet confirmed the starting lineup.
