According to team coach Georgios Bartzokas, Walkup will be reevaluated tomorrow with an MRI after suffering an ankle injury and developing a limp. The Greek specialist also noted that there was swelling on Walkup's ankle.

The American guard had a limp in the 8th minute of the game after landing awkwardly following a position with Elijah Mitrou-Long of Peristeri.

Walkup checked out and did not return to the game, raising concerns about his situation, which is currently unknown.

In a season where the Greek team was occasionally plagued with injuries, Walkup stayed solid and has averages of 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game in the continent's top competition.

He had his best EuroLeague game against Zalgiris Kaunas in Round 27, where he had 22 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals on 9/13 field goal shooting for a grand total of 25 PIR.
