John Wall, suffering from migraines, decided to suit up against the Brooklyn Nets (the worst team in the NBA) on Friday night.
The Washington Wizards‘ lone All-Star has been on record about wanting to play through pain if possible, just to please the fans who paid to see him on the court. Friday wasn’t any different.
In the back of their minds, Washington’s coaching staff was probably hoping the team would secure a blowout win, allowing Wall and the rest of the starters to rest before taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.
