In his first comments to reporters since rupturing his Achilles tendon, Wizards point guard John Wall said Friday he was in “great spirits” and the injury was “nothing to dwell on.”
Wall, using a medical scooter and brace to hold his left leg, spoke following the Wizards’ 119-106 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. On Monday, the 28-year-old found out he would miss the next 11-15 months after he ruptured his Achilles in a slip-and-fall in his home on Jan. 29.
The Wizards’ star revealed he will undergo surgery Tuesday.
“You never want to hear it, but it is what it is,” Wall said.
