Ja'Kobe Walter Injury: Not playing Friday

Walter (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Walter will end up missing his seventh consecutive game while recovering from a right hip contusion, but there's optimism that he is close to a return. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Thunder, the final game of the Raptors' five-game road trip.
