Walker (back) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Walker exited Friday's game versus the Clippers to be evaluated for a concussion and didn't return. Fortunately, it appears the 22-year-old avoided a head injury, although he's still in danger of missing Sunday's contest because of a lower-back bruise. If Walker doesn't play Sunday, Kobe Brown will likely replace him in the starting lineup.

Walker won't return to Friday's game against the Clippers, according to Tony East of Forbes.com.
EDGE Analysis
Walker got off to a good start in this one. Unfortunately, he landed hard on his head after a dunk, so he will finish the night with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in four minutes. Kobe Brown started the second half in his place and figures to see more action the rest of the way. Walker will presumably receive more testing ahead of Sunday's meeting with Miami.
