Why Holding John Wall out for Next Season is a Smart Move
It was expected that John Wall would be out for most of next season. Now it is likely that we will not see him on the court at all.
Wizards owner, Ted Leonsis, stated last Monday that John Wall “probably won’t play” next season due to his torn achilles per Chase Hughes.
The five time All-Star tore his achilles in early February, 2019. Right before the tear, Wall underwent surgery to remove bone spurs in his left heel to prevent a serious injury such as an achilles tear. This procedure would have sidelined him six to eight months. Wall would have likely missed the rest of last season, but would have been available for the start of this upcoming season.
