John Wall’s return to his college home was upstaged by DeMarcus Cousins’ return to Kentucky as the Kings beat the Wizards 124-119. Cousins had 22 points 6 assists, and 5 rebounds in 26 minutes of action.
Wall had a solid outing in limited minutes, racking up 11 points, 4 assists, and 4 steals in 22 minutes, but didn’t get much support from the rest of the team’s rotation. Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, and Jason Smith were held out of the game, Ian Mahinmi missed the game after undergoing surgery on Friday, and Marcin Gortat only played 9 minutes in the exhibition.
