As the clips flashed across the Jumbotron at Capital One Arena, John Wall couldn’t help but look up.
Back in the District Monday for an NBA game for the first time since he was traded to the Houston Rockets in December, Wall glanced at the video board while in Houston’s huddle, stealing looks at the screen as the Wizards honored their former point guard with a tribute video during a timeout in the first quarter.
The video was a testament to the impact the 30-year-old had on both the franchise and the city of Washington.
Wall spent 10 seasons with the Wizards after he was drafted first overall in 2010.
