Washington Wizards guard John Wall will likely miss the 2019-20 season as he recovers from a tore Achilles tendon sustained after a fall at his home in February.
By the time he returns to the court, it will be a roughly 18-month absence from playing competitive basketball.
Even though he is a five-time All-Star with career averages of 20.7 points and 8.7 assists, it's his contract extension that seems to get the most scrutiny.
In the summer of 2017, Wall signed a four-year, $171 million Designated Veteran Player contract extension, better known as the "supermax."
Wall addressed those critical of the deal in an interview with NBC Sports Washington.
