If you had asked me over the summer if John Wall would play for the Washington Wizards this season, I would have given you a pretty emphatic ‘NO.’ If you asked me that same question a few weeks ago, after the Wizards were denied their Disabled Player Exception for Wall, I probably still would have said ‘no,’ but a lot less emphatically.
Then something happened, and my answer changed. Last week, before the Wizards took on the Boston Celtics, John Wall threw down a dazzling pregame dunk. After that display, I was convinced we’d see Wall before the season’s end.
