John Wall seems cautiously optimistic that he’ll be ready at the start of the Washington Wizards‘ season, but he’s not going to rush it. After getting two knee procedures this off-season, the last thing Wall wants to do is put his career in jeopardy.
While we all hope the All-Star could return sooner than later, there’s always that lingering possibility that Wall will miss the start of the season.
Wall, who started in just 42 games in 2012-13 because of similar concerns, likely won’t miss a ton of time – if any – but the Wizards would be foolish not to prepare for the worst.
