The New Orleans Pelicans’ option to trade or not trade Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers has cast quite a pall over the NBA this week, and justifiably so. Anthony Davis is arguably one of the top three players in the NBA, and whether he goes to the Lakers, the Clippers, the Knicks, the Bucks or the Wizards (too soon?), his whereabouts will justifiably command front page, NBA headlines.
But at 1:39 pm yesterday, the Washington Wizards PR team unsheathed a bit of news that temporarily pressed pause on all things Anthony Davis. Their press release read as follows:
Wizards guard John Wall will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon.
