Things have gone from bad to worse for Washington Wizards guard John Wall. The 28-year-old—already out for the season due to bone spurs—is now expected to be out significantly longer (about 12 months) after rupturing his Achilles tendon following a fall at his home.
The team put out a press release Tuesday confirming the news:
Washington, D.C. – Wizards guard John Wall will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon. The procedure, which has yet to be scheduled, will be performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay, WI.
