The last three and a half years have not been easy for former Kentucky Wildcats guard John Wall.
In December of 2018, Wall had season-ending surgery to help with recurring left heel pain. A month into his recovery, he fell in his home and partially tore his Achilles tendon. This was worsened when the surgery to repair his Achilles revealed an infection from his heel surgery.
Through the physical injuries, Wall also had to deal with being traded to the Houston Rockets who opted to sit him as they tanked, in addition to the passing of his mother and grandmother in the midst of COVID.
