Knees weren’t invented for playing basketball. The last thing a player wants to hear is, “you have to get surgery on your knees.” It’s a terrifying thought, especially for players who rely on their quickness and explosion.
Washington Wizards guard John Wall, who’s one of the fastest players to ever step foot onto an NBA court, underwent surgery to both of his knees this off-season.
The former first overall pick had trouble with his knees early in his career, so the news that he required surgery this off-season caused some concern.
Wall played through pain, but missed the last few games of this past season with a knee issue.
