Sakima Walker is Cal’s dependable paint anchor with efficient scoring touch
In the 2025-26 season, Sakima Walker has been one of Cal’s most reliable players, starting all 36 games and averaging 11.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks while shooting 56.7% from the field. Her differentiators are size, rim protection, and efficiency: she gives the Golden Bears a true interior presence, cleans the glass, and finishes cleanly without needing high usage. After a quieter role at South Carolina, she’s thriving in a bigger spot at Cal—good fit if you want a steady, physical center who does the dirty work and quietly tilts games.
