The Washington Wizards are built around John Wall and Bradley Beal. Without one of the two pieces, as we saw this past season during Beal’s absence, the Wizards don’t have a chance to compete.
In terms of their health, the Wizards have always displayed caution when Wall and Beal have returned from injury.
Washington has done a solid job of restricting the players’ playing time until they’re ready to get back into the swing of things completely.
This season will be no different.
Wall is coming off double knee surgery and has yet to go through a full five-on-five.
