Jabari Walker provided a boost off the bench with 10 points (4-of-8 FGs), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers against the Wizards on Tuesday.Walker has played a surprisingly large role for a player on a two-way contract, but that hasn't led to much production in the box score. However, that didn't hold true in this game, as he was able to record a double-double for the first time this season. Walker holds some value in dynasty formats, but he shouldn't be relied on in redraft leagues, barring multiple injuries to forward currently in front of him on the depth chart.
Trendon Watford (adductor) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to Sixers reporter Noah Levick.Watford is the latest addition to Philadelphia's growing injury report. Until he's ready to return, Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker will pick up extra playing time.
Trendon Watford (adductor) will not return to Tuesday's game against the Magic.Watford suffered a strained left adductor while dribbling up the floor during the second quarter, collapsing to the court immediately after feeling the injury. He had to be helped to the locker room and has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. The 76ers will have to rely even more on Dominick Barlow in the front court, and Jabari Walker picked up a few minutes after Watford's injury.
Jalen Suggs was ejected from Tuesday's game against the 76ers with 26.6 seconds remaining in the second quarter.With the Magic leading by an 82-58 margin, things got heated between the two teams. Philadelphia's Andre Drummond and Orlando's Wendell Carter Jr. squared up on each other, but they were separated before Suggs decided to get involved. For their roles in the altercation, Carter, Drummond and Philadelphia's Jabari Walker received technical fouls, while Suggs was ejected. He finishes with four points, five rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocked shots.
