Luke Walton (personal) returned to action on Friday, scoring eight points on 3-of-4 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes off the bench.

This is a fairly good night for Walton, telling owners all they need to know about his fantasy value.

Luke Walton (personal) is expected to meet the Cavs in Denver on Friday.

He should be available to play after two games away, but he shouldn't be on any fantasy roster in any format.

Luke Walton (personal) remains away from the Cavs.

He is still excused from the team to deal with a "personal problem," but this news doesn't impact your fantasy league.

Luke Walton (personal) will not play on Monday.

Despite being a consistent part of the rotation, Walton hasn't received a blurb since Halloween, an illustration of his relevance to fantasy owners.

Luke Walton played 12 minutes off the bench in Cleveland's victory on Tuesday, and it sounds like he'll be a fixture in Byron Scott's rotation.

"With [Walton] in the second unit, they run the offense better," said Scott. "He's a veteran guy ... He's a leader out there for that second unit and they have a lot of respect for Luke." While Walton carves out a 10-15 minute role, guys like Samardo Samuels, Jon Leuer and Omri Casspi have an uphill battle to crack the rotation.

Luke Walton returned from his hamstring injury on Tuesday, scoring two points to go along with one rebound.

Walton played just five and a half minutes and isn't on the fantasy radar in any format.

Luke Walton (strained hamstring) did not travel with the Cavs for Thursday's away preseason game vs. the Bulls.

Walton played in just 30 games last year and simply can't seem to stay healthy. In any case, he's buried on the Cavs' depth chart behind Alonzo Gee, Omri Casspi, and probably even Kelenna Azubuike.

Luke Walton made his Cavs debut on Friday and played two minutes.

Walton's debut mirrors our excitement about him as a fantasy asset.

Luke Walton is targeting Sunday's game for his Cavaliers debut.

Walton is healthy but isn't up to speed with the team, and coach Byron Scott wants him to practice a few times before leaping into the rotation.

Luke Walton, acquired in the trade with the Lakers, dressed for Sunday's game but didn't play.

Walton says his back feels fine but he's played in just nine games all season and likely needs some time to adjust before possibly entering the rotation. He's under contract for over $6 million next season, so the Cavs will likely see if they can squeeze some production out of him.

Luke Walton (back) said he's healthier than he's been in three years, and he's excited to play for the Cavaliers.

"We weren't on the same page, Walton said about this season with the Lakers. "I felt great and was playing well. Mike [Brown] said he was going with a certain rotation." Walton will have a better chance of actually playing in Cleveland, but he still shouldn't be on your fantasy radar.

Luke Walton has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of a deal that sends Ramon Sessions to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The fact that Mitch Kupchak got someone to take Walton's ridiculous contract is incredible, and this was a move that the Lakers had to make. Walton has struggled to crack Los Angeles' rotation all season, but there is a chance that he'll see some playing time in Cleveland. Regardless, he's not a fantasy option in any league.

Luke Walton (illness) did not travel with the Lakers and won't play on Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

This is Walton's first blurb since before the season began and that should tell you all you need to know about his relevance to fantasy owners.

Luke Walton, who was last seen coaching in Memphis, is in Lakers' camp and was even working out with the first team on Saturday.

There's no way Walton will start for the Lakers this season, but it does sound like he's going to give it a go and put off his retirement for now. He has a debilitating back condition that will eventually force him out of the game.

According to Marc Stein and Chad Ford of ESPN, Luke Walton may be contemplating retirement.

In a post discussing logical amnesty candidates for each team, Stein and Ford write that a debilitating back condition has forced Walton to speculate about the possibility of retirement. He's struggled with a nagging back and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him walk away if the condition worsens by playing, and multiple doctors have told Walton to shut it down.

The University of Memphis has hired Luke Walton as an assistant coach during the NBA lockout.

Walton's under contract with the Lakers for the next two years, but a bad back and hamstring have really slowed down his playing career. If things go well at Memphis, it's possible he could end up retiring from the NBA prematurely, but he is expected to return to the Lakers once the lockout ends.

Luke Walton will return to the Lakers' rotation after sitting out the past two games against San Antonio and New Orleans.

Walton's absence was partially due to matchups -- the result has been a lot more minutes for Kobe Bryant (including 43 minutes vs. the Hornets), which clearly wasn't going to last long. Fantasy owners can safely ignore Walton.

Luke Walton returned to action on Friday November 5.

Luke Walton (hamstring) was targeting Tuesday's game for his return to action, but did not play due to coach's decision.

The game was never really close so chances are Phil Jackson just wanted to play it safe. Whether he plays or not Wednesday against the Kings, he will not be a fantasy option.

Luke Walton says his injured hamstring is feeling better, and he is targeting Tuesday's game for his return to action.

"It feels good and I didn't feel anything and as long as I don't feel anything that means I'm making progress," said Walton. Right now Matt Barnes and Ron Artest are getting some extra minutes, so when Walton returns they'll take a tiny hit in fantasy value.
