Raptors rookie Ja'Kobe Walter restricted to start training camp

Toronto Raptors rookie Ja'Kobe Walter will not participate in on-court activities at next week's training camp in Montreal due to a shoulder injury.

He sprained his right acromioclavicular (AC) joint -- where the collarbone joins the scapula -- during informal workouts this week. The Raptors said they would update his condition after training camp.

Walter, 20, was selected by the Raptors with the 19th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft out of Baylor.

The 6-foot-5 guard was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year and an All-Big 12 Third Team selection last season. He averaged 14.5 points and 4.4 rebounds and shot 34.1 percent from 3-point range in 35 games (all starts).
