The trajectory of John Wall’s career has nosedived over the last few seasons. He was named an All-Star four times in his first seven seasons and was coming off a career year in 2016-2017 with career-high averages of 23.1 points and 10.7 assists. Wall was easily considered one of the best point guards in the league during the 2010s.
Over the last four years though, that has no longer been the case.
Injuries suffered to his lower legs, specifically his heel and his Achilles, were the beginning of his decline. Wall has played in just 113 games over the last four seasons, including missing all of the 2019-2020 season.
