Jarace Walker left Game 6 on crutches with a right ankle injury, casting doubt on his availability for the NBA Finals. The 2023 No. 8 pick exited after playing just seven minutes and scoring two points.
Walker was hurt early in the fourth quarter while defending a drive. His leg bent awkwardly and he collapsed, needing two trainers to help him off. Coach Rick Carlisle remains uncertain if the rookie can recover in four days.
