John Wall’s 2017-18 was an injury-riddled slog, and his worst season since 2011-12 -- his second year in the league. Persistent knee pain diminished his production, and required surgery that caused him to miss 41 games.
It could be that Wall’s year was nothing more than an injury-driven aberration. It could be that his bad shooting and poor shot selection were products of pain and that a healthy Wall will return to something closer to his peak next season. In fact, that’s what’s likely to happen. For next season. And maybe the year after.
