Walter's latest setback occurred in the third quarter of Wednesday's 122-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings. He had two points and one rebound in 7:45 of action before departing.
The 20-year-old was Toronto's first-round pick this past summer, being selected at No. 19 overall out of Baylor. He is averaging 2.5 points and 2.8 rebounds while playing 12.3 minutes a night in his first four NBA games.
The Raptors (2-7) will be back in action Saturday night in Los Angeles against the Clippers (4-4).
