Default Problem with pressure gradient

Hello,
I am simulating a pipe with different roughness shape. My pipeline is 5 mm long and has 100mm diameter (50mm using symmetry). Due to its length I export outlet velocity profile and import it as inlet one until velocity profile is fully developed. I am using k-w model STANDARD, so not to use any near wall approximations/ functions. Can anyone explain why there is a pressure gradient at the inlet, close to the wall ?
