The improbability of John Wall returning to the Wizards next season has not dampened discussion of it. Given the bad break-up, it seems unlikely Wall would want to return or that the team would want a second go-around with him.
To recap: after missing at least half the team’s regular season games in two consecutive seasons, and then all of the team’s games in a third season (due to the Achilles tear), a video of a partying Wall making gang-related hand gestures went public. Wall promptly and publicly apologized, but was still on the receiving end of a lecture from team owner Ted Leonsis that apparently would be best described as patronizing, disrespectful and offensive.
