Walter sprained his acromioclavicular joint (shoulder) during informal workouts and will not participate in on-court activities to start training camp, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The No. 19 overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft will not be permitted to participate in on-court activities for at least a week of training camp due to the shoulder injury. However, Walter is not likely to miss any regular-season action, and the Raptors are expected to give an update on his status after one week. The 20-year-old played for Baylor in 2023-24 and averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.2 minutes per game across 35 regular-season appearances.
