After a year of sitting on the bench, John Wall is finally going to get back to playing basketball. The five-time All-Star guard reached an agreement with the Rockets on a buyout of the final year of his contract, and reportedly will sign a deal to join the Los Angeles Clippers.
Wall was set to make $47.4 million from the Rockets, but reportedly agreed to accept about $40.9 million instead. Wall will make up that money by signing a deal with the Clippers for about $6.5 million, according to multiple reports.
The Rockets acquired Wall and a first-round pick from the Washington Wizards in a trade for Russell Westbrook, who had a similarly overpriced contract, in 2020.
