Washington Wizards: John Wall was concerned about walking again, not playing basketball

John Wall has had a really tough go of it as of late with the Washington Wizards. Wall has been out this entire season recovering from a ruptured Achilles’ tendon, having last played in December of 2018.

Beyond the game of basketball, Wall has had to deal with tremendous loss in his family, as his mother passed away following a battle with cancer late in 2019.

Most people think of professional athletes getting injured and view it as a standard thing. Usually, you go to the doctor, get the required surgery, and recover from the injury, progressively getting your body back to a normal state where you can play at a high level.
