John Wall received his first live game action of the preseason against the New York Knicks on Monday after undergoing double-knee surgery this off-season.
As expected, Wall showed some rust during the 90-88 loss, but most importantly, he’s healthy and back on the court. He played 16 minutes, totaling 8 points and 4 assists. On Thursday, Wall scored 9 points and dished out 9 assists against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Steadily, his minutes and production have increased.
His impact on the Washington Wizards‘ game on both sides of the ball is undeniable, as evidenced by the way the team has played with and without him.
