Washington Wizards fandom has been treated to multiple videos of John Wall practicing in the past few days. While I’m just as excited as the next fan, I think we need to come to grips now rather than later with the possibility that he won’t be the same player he was before the devastating Achilles injury that he suffered in February of 2019.
From LaPhonso Ellis to Kobe Bryant, Achilles tendons have been the beginning of the end, if not the flat-out end, to the careers of even the best athletes in the National Basketball Association.
