Randy Wittman goes off on media over John Wall report (Video)

Washington Wizards head coach Randy Wittman went off on the media Friday to defend a player against what he termed an erroneous report.

The Washington Post’s Michael Lee wrote a column Thursday about how Wall’s wrist injury crushes the team’s postseason hopes. In the article, Lee said Wall initially clashed with the team’s doctors over his diagnosis.

From Lee’s article:

Wall refused to accept the initial diagnosis of a “real, real bad sprain” after X-rays immediately following the game were negative. According to a person with knowledge of the situation, Wall clashed with team medical staffers before sitting out Tuesday because he felt something more serious had caused his hand to explode.
