Henry Walker

Henry Walker has officially been waived by the Heat.

Fantasy Impact

He started 13 of his 24 games with the Heat last season, averaging just 7.3 points, 3.4 boards and 1.2 assists. He'll now search for a new team after missing the summer league because of an ankle injury.

Henry Walker had a season-high 21 points on the Sixers Wednesday night with six 3-pointers, four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 48 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

His clutch three in the final 10 seconds put the Heat up ahead to stay. Fortunately, the Nets were able to win on Wednesday, liberating Miami enough to just play basketball and try to get the win. If the Nets' lost, that there would've likely been the most damning shot in NBA lottery history. If the Nets' lost and the Heat won, the chances of Miami keeping the top-10 protected pick would've gone below 50 percent, since the 10th and 11th worst records would've been decided via coin flip. Currently, their chances of keeping the pick are just about 91 percent. Walker won't be fantasy relevant next season.

Henry Walker was miserable in a rare start on Sunday, finishing with two points, one assist, one steal, and two blocks in 19 minutes vs. Indiana.

Fantasy Impact

With Michael Beasley (knee) and Luol Deng (knee) poised to miss time, Henry Walker has at least one more start in his future. His threes and steals are the only reason he may be worth owning in fantasy. As a starter, he drains 1.9 threes and swipes 1.5 steals a game.

Miami Heat F Henry Walker went scoreless after missing all six of his shots against the Thunder, but he did manage to grab four rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench.

Fantasy Impact

Four of Walker's six shots were threes. When the threes are falling, Walker can be very uplifting for the Heat offensively. However, his fouls limit his minutes even further and he's only hit double-digit scoring just once this month. These problems make him totally avoidable in fantasy.

The Miami Heat has officially signed Henry Walker to a second 10-day contract, according to a RealGM source.

Fantasy Impact

Walker has averaged 11.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 27.8 minutes per games during his four games for the Heat this season. With stats like those, it's not surprising that they would sign him to a second 10-day contract. He already even cracked Miami's starting lineup once. The Heat need his dynamic scoring as he has a penchant for hitting threes and throwing down spectacular dunks.
