But he still is getting his chance this summer in the NBA Summer League with the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n<h3>Michigan State basketball star Tyson Walker goes off at NBA Summer League<\/h3>\n<p>The Suns added Walker to their Summer League roster, and so far he has not disappointed. Walker has been solid all summer, but he had one of his better games Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>Walker scored 12 points on Friday in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba-summer-league\/boxscore\/_\/gameId\/401686869\/league\/nba-summer-las-vegas\">Suns 115-90 win over the Milwaukee Bucks,<\/a> his highest total yet. He also added five assists, two rebounds, and two steals as well. Walker also had a whopping +18 plus\/minus in the 20 minutes he played as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TWalk against Milwaukee today:<\/p>\n<p>12 PTS<br \/>5 AST<br \/>2 REB<br \/>2 STL<\/p>\n<p>DAWG. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bfxyKgwSH3\">pic.twitter.com\/bfxyKgwSH3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Spartans Hoops (@HoopsSpartans) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HoopsSpartans\/status\/1814450936359858686?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 20, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This is Walker\u2019s second quality game recently as he also had an eight-point, four-assist game this past Tuesday.<\/p>\n<h3>What does this mean for Tyson Walker\u2019s NBA future?<\/h3>\n<p>While these games from Walker have been very good, they likely aren\u2019t good enough to make an NBA roster full-time. Especially when you consider he\u2019s had some bad games including scoring just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba-summer-league\/boxscore\/_\/gameId\/401686859\/league\/nba-summer-las-vegas\">one point on Wednesday in another game<\/a>. But that doesn\u2019t mean his NBA dreams are over.<\/p>\n<p>If I had to guess, I would say there\u2019s a high chance Walker will end up on a G-League team this season. And you never know what could happen after that. If he plays extremely well he could make an NBA roster in no time.<\/p>\n<p>So while Walker\u2019s Summer League hasn\u2019t been perfect by any means, he\u2019s still playing well enough that his NBA dreams shouldn\u2019t be shattered yet.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns have one final Summer League game on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. Let\u2019s hope Walker plays even better this game to give himself the best chance possible for a successful NBA future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyson Walker is making his case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":18601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[187],"tags":[59,190,189,504,202],"class_list":["post-18589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-basketball","tag-featured","tag-michigan-state-basketball","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-news","tag-tyson-walker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
