More relevant than chemistry, news faces, team bonding or anything else for the Washington Wizards is the state of John Wall’s knees.
Both were operated on in May. Wall had loose particles removed from his right knee and calcium deposits removed from his left patella tendon. At the end of last season, his knees ached enough that the Wizards’ franchise player sat out the final fives games of the season.
Wall has progressed from working on his own, to playing 1-on-1, then 3-on-3. He had a “great” workout Monday morning, according to Wizards coach Scott Brooks. Neither will set a timeline for Wall, who is clearly cognizant of the fact he will be an unrestricted free agent in three years when he is 29 years old.
