LOS ANGELES -- John Wall said he considered taking his own life during a time in the past three years when he was dealing with a torn Achilles and the deaths of family members at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The guard joined the Los Angeles Clippers this summer and is eager for a return to form this coming season. Wall has played just 40 games over the past three years because of injuries, COVID-19 and his former team, the Houston Rockets, not playing him before he joined the Clippers.
Wall, 31, discussed his recent past earlier this month at a garden dedication for his late mother at the Salvation Army in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he's from.
