Second-year forward Bill Walker will reportedly miss six to eight weeks after tearing the meniscus in his right knee.
This isn't a terribly serious knee injury, so the fact that Walker has a history of knee problems shouldn't be too concerning. However, it does seriously hamper Walker's chances of cracking the rotation this year. Whether that was ever in Doc's plans is anybody's guess, but many fans -- myself included -- would like to see that happen. So while this is by no means a devastating loss, it is disappointing.
After rumors that he might miss the preseason, Tony Allen has been practicing some, and if he stays healthy, he stands to get minutes on the wing that don't go to Marquis Daniels and (perhaps) Brian Scalabrine. But just how many minutes that might be is very much an open question.
