Scores nine points in return
Walter (hip) posted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists across 28 minutes Sunday in Toronto's 103-101 win over Oklahoma City.
The Scoop: Walter showed a little bit of rust Sunday in his return from a seven-game absence due to a right hip pointer, but the fact that he handled heavy minutes in a tightly contested game is a promising sign. He struggled from deep, but he made up for it on the defensive end by matching his season high with three steals. Walter had started in both of his final two appearances prior to missing time with his injury, though he'll likely stay in a bench role now that RJ Barrett is back healthy.
