Raptors rookie Ja'Kobe Walter sidelined for training camp due to sprained shoulder injury

TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Raptors rookie guard Ja’Kobe Walter will unfortunately miss out on his first NBA training camp as he deals with a sprained right shoulder, the team announced Friday.

The Raptors chose the 6-foot-4 Walter with the 19th pick in the first round of last June’s NBA Draft. He was injured during informal workouts this week.

The team said it will update Walter’s condition following next week’s training camp in Montreal.

Baylor’s top scorer in his lone season with the Bears, Walter was also named Big 12 Freshman of the Year after averaging 14.5 points and 4.4 rebounds. He turned 20 in early September.

Toronto went 25-57 last season and missed the Play-In Tournament.
