Report: John Wall, Adidas Negotiating Buyout with over 3 Years Left on Contract

Adidas and Washington Wizards point guard John Wall are reportedly negotiating a buyout just two years into his five-year endorsement deal with the company, according to Nick DePaula of ESPN.

Wall signed the deal in January 2018 and has dealt with a variety of injuries since, "limiting his on-court visibility while wearing the brand's products."

That has included missing the 2018 All-Star Game—"when he was expected to help headline the brand's Crazy BYW X sneaker in Los Angeles"—half of last season with an Achilles injury and likely all of the 2019-20 season when he tore the Achilles in February.
