John Wall close to a return for Wizards

LOS ANGELES — John Wall was on his stomach when his face scrunched. The whirring from a massage machine being pushed into his left heel had caused the pain to run from his foot to his face. The irritation was part of a pregame process to get Wall, who has missed seven consecutive games and was about to miss his eighth, loose before he worked on the floor.

About 15 minutes later, Wall walked onto the floor with his headphones on. He took a variety of shots before shedding the headphones in order to work against the Wizards‘ player development staff.
