Lonnie Walker IV NEWS
  • Lonnie Walker IV Set To Miss At Least Next Two Weeks

    Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (knee) has been sidelined for at least the next two weeks due to left knee tendinitis. L.A. is set to play eight contests in that span, opening minutes on the wing for Juan Toscano-Anderson and Max Christie, among others. Walker has averaged a career-best 14.7 PPG across 32 games (all starts) this season, leaving another offensive void to be filled by the Lakers in the short term. The 24-year-old can be stashed on IR slots where available, with the team expected to provide an update on his status in around two weeks.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Likely To Miss More Time

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (knee) will miss his third straight game on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is dealing with knee tendinitis which could lead him to missing more time. Head coach Darvin Ham mentioned that the organization plans to bring Walker along slowly. It doesn't sound like they currently have a timetable for him, so fantasy managers should expect Walker to remain sidelined for now. In the meantime, Troy Brown Jr. and Austin Reaves will gain the most fantasy value. Between the two players, Reaves is the better fantasy option in the short term.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Remains Unavailable For Wednesday’s Game

    Los Angeles Lakers small forward Lonnie Walker IV (knee) has been ruled out for the third consecutive contest Wednesday against Miami, but this time it's due to a sore left knee. Walker has been battling a tailbone contusion over the past week, with his latest ailment keeping L.A. short-handed on the wing with LeBron James (illness) also unavailable. Troy Brown Jr., Austin Reaves and Juan Toscano-Anderson all stand to see sizable minute increases without Walker in the mix, with the former duo possessing significant DFS upside. Walker's next chance to return to action comes Friday vs. the Hawks.

  • Lonnie Walker IV To Miss Monday's Game

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 24-year-old will miss his second straight game due to a tailbone contusion. In his absence, Troy Brown Jr. and Austin Reaves should see additional playing time. Between the two, Reaves is the much better fantasy option for Monday's slate. Brown should still have value, but mainly in deep leagues.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Questionable Against Hornets On Monday

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) has been tagged as questionable for the team's Monday night contest against the Charlotte Hornets. The 24-year-old was held out of the last game with the same tailbone contusion and now could miss his fifth game of the season. Walker carried solid fantasy value earlier in the season while the Lakers dealt with a lot of injuries, but he's since cooled off. If he can't give it a go, Austin Reaves and Troy Brown Jr. could be good streaming options.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Ruled Out Friday, Austin Reaves To Start

    Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) will miss Friday's contest against the Hawks, allowing Austin Reaves to step into the starting five. Walker had found his offensive rhythm prior to going down, drilling multiple triples in six straight outings prior to injury. While Reaves is coming off a scoreless performance Wednesday, he will likely see significant last-minute DFS appeal due to the 13.4 PPG he has averaged across 10 starts this year. Juan Toscano-Anderson also stands to see additional minutes without Walker in the mix, but L.A. will have to get creative offensively to make up for his 14.7 points per contest average.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Earns Questionable Tag For Friday

    Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) has been tagged as questionable to suit up for Friday's contest vs. the Hawks due to a tailbone contusion. Walker's status is moving in the wrong direction ahead of tip-off, a concerning update on the heels of his first scoreless outing of the season. An absence from Walker -- who has started all 32 of his appearances this year -- would pave the way for Troy Brown Jr. and Max Christie to play elevated roles on the wing.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Now Likely To Play On Friday

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (foot) is now on the injury report listed as probable to play on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Earlier, on Friday morning, he carried a questionable status with a sore foot. This means that the Lakers will most likely have their normal starting five all healthy again. Walker has returned solid value across all fantasy formats as he's ranked at 106 in terms of value. That's enough to land him in the ninth round of a draft for a 12-team league. This could be a tough matchup, however, as the Bucks are a top-three defense in the league.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Upgraded To Probable Against Kings

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) has officially been upgraded on the injury report to probable for Friday night. He previously was questionable and the team was unsure if he was going to miss his third consecutive game. As he's set to take his starting role back, Austin Reaves will probably take a hit to his fantasy relevance. Troy Brown Jr. who also helped split those minutes, could still be a streaming option with LeBron James out for this game.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Questionable Against Kings

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) is questionable for the team's meeting with the Kings. The 23-year-old has missed a few games with a non-COVID-related illness, although it appears he's moving in the right direction. The 23-year-old has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 15.3 points in nine appearances. With LeBron James (adductor) out on Friday night, Walker could be a top offensive contributor, assuming he plays.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Will Miss Wednesday's Game

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) will now sit out of Wednesday night's game. The 23-year-old was originally listed as questionable with a non-COVID illness that kept him out of Monday's game as well. The fact he was questionable before seems to show that this shouldn't keep him out of too many games. While he's out, it opens the door for both Troy Brown Jr. and Austin Reaves. Either one of them would only be streaming options in deeper fantasy leagues.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Questionable To Face Clippers

    Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) has been dealing with a non-COVID illness for the past few days now. He was held out of the team's game on Monday and now is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest as well. The 23-year-old has been enjoying a bit of a resurgence so far with his new team, so the illness is unfortunate timing. If he can't suit up, some combination of Kendrick Nunn, Austin Reaves, and Troy Brown Jr. will see an increase in opportunities.

  • Lonnie Walker IV Dealing With An Illness

    Los Angeles Lakers forward Lonnie Walker IV (illness) won't play on Monday night versus Utah. He's not feeling well, although it's not COVID, so there's a chance he could be back on Wednesday against the Clippers. With LeBron James (foot) and Patrick Beverley (illness) also out, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Troy Brown Jr., and Kendrick Nunn could enter the starting lineup. However, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook will likely do most of the heavy lifting offensively.
